Mark Radcliffe writesabout important legal developments from 2015, including the firstruling on GPLv3 (in Germany): "In this case, the user cured itsbreach within the necessary period, but refused to sign a 'cease anddesist' declaration which was sought by the plaintiff to ensure that thedefendant would have an incentive not to breach the terms of the GPLv3again. The court ruled that the reinstatement provision in Section 8 didnot eliminate the plaintiff's right to a preliminary injunction to preventfurther infringements, particularly if the defendant had refused to signthe plaintiff's cease-and-desist declaration."
