in #australia has anyone heard of or had any luck with returning a product that violates software rights claiming Australian Consumer Law - item does not match description? Thinking GPL license

For example "Android" is a brand that *means* 'opensource' and 'Linux'; so if twelve months pass and in my case Motorola (running) MediaTek hasn't released the source code of the Linux kernel to distribute with the phones - can I say they mislead me and I want a return or a replacement (with the source code)?

These #GPLviolaters need to pay and comply or lose money

What a disaster this "let's open-source WinAmp" PR stunt has been.

https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp

The issues are just being spammed incessantly, they had copyrighted code from Dolby in there, looks like they've violated the LGPL, their license violates the GitHub terms of service.

ltmain.sh isn't a source file, it's the compiled output of a bunch of m4 code from libtool. The version of ltmain.sh in #GNU #binutils does not correspond to any version of the libtool sources (release tarballs or libtool.git). We don't have the Complete Corresponding Source to binutils' ltmain.sh! #GPLviolation :P

(It has a --no-finish flag that no libtool sources have ever had.)
