> “Not so,” [yeah, I'm sure this is a literal quote from a court document] said Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley in her order on the motion on April 25.
That is in fact a literal quote from the court document:
Defendant contends that Plaintiff’s reliance on
the unsigned GNU GPL fails to plausibly demonstrate
mutual assent, that is, the existence of a contract.
Not so. The GNU GPL, which is attached to the
complaint, provides that the Ghostscript user agrees
to its terms if the user does not obtain a
commercial license. Plaintiff alleges that Defendant
used Ghostscript, did not obtain a commercial
license, and represented publicly that its use of
Ghostscript was licensed under the GNL GPU. These
allegations sufficiently plead the existence of a
contract. See, e.g., MedioStream, Inc. v. Microsoft
Corp., 749 F. Supp. 2d 507, 519 (E.D. Tex. 2010)
(concluding that the software owner had adequately
pled a claim for breach of a shrink-wrap license).
