SWSoft Out of Compliance With the GPL

MBCook writes "According to the Official Wine Wiki, SWSoft's Parallels 3.0 contains LGPL code. It seems that the new 3D acceleration features of Parallels 3.0 are based on Wine code (SWSoft isn't hiding this), but despite repeated requests they have not yet released their changes for the Wine developers. It has now been 22 days since SWSoft was first contacted on this issue; at the time they promised the code within 1-2 days. They have been contacted numerous time and currently say that they are waiting on 'legal department approval.'" Update: 07/03 00:06 GMT by KD : Reader something_wicked_thi notes that Parallels released the source code the next day.

We should start modding down posts that come from Microsoft IP addresses... That would sure help.

How about starting a data-mining project relating insightfulness/informativeness to geographic region, IP address or company affiliation? I offer my free time to do so.

Taco, do you copy?
