Re: Are they obligued to give me the source code?

AFAI understood:

According to this decision the source code must come with the compiled code. Thus if the compiled code can be downloaded the source code needs to be downloadable from the same site. If the compiled code comes with some kind of a hardware, the source code should come with a related roll-out.

(Please quote properly when replying in a Usenet group - it makes it much easier to follow the thread, and is particularly relevant if anyone looks up these posts in the archives.)

I'm not sure that such a ruling would have any effect - I don't believe it is possible for a court to impose additional restrictions or requirements beyond those in the license in question. It's possible that they can do this for a particular company and a particular case, as a punishment for not following the license in the first place, but there is no way a court can add requirements to a license in general.
