SFC: First Update on the Vizio lawsuit

The Software Freedom Conservancy provides
an update on its suit against Vizio for
copyleft license violations. Vizio's response was not to release the
source code:

Instead, Vizio filed
a request to 'remove' the case from California State Court (into US federal
court), which indicates Vizio's belief that consumers have no
third-party beneficiary rights under copyleft! In other words, Vizio’s
answer to this complaint is not to comply with the copyleft licenses, but instead imply that Software Freedom Conservancy — and all other purchasers of the devices who might want to assert their right under GPL and LGPL to complete, corresponding source — have no right to even ask for that source code.
