The recent judicial ruling in the Vizio case has significant implications for open source license compliance. Traditionally, enforcement was limited to copyright law, with only authors able to initiate lawsuits and financial remedies being the primary outcome. However, this case argues that open source licenses can also be enforced through contracts, potentially expanding who can bring a lawsuit to enforce terms. The court's ruling found that the General Public License (GPL) creates a legal duty for Vizio to share source code with SFC, but allowed the trial to settle the scope of the duty rather than its existence. This decision has the potential to increase the number of potential enforcers and make threat letters from groups like SFC more credible, which could lead to changes in how companies approach open source licensing and compliance. The ruling is seen as a welcome news for those who believe in staying true to the original principles that led to the creation of the GPL.
