|
||
<p>On Oct. 19, 2021, Software Freedom Conservancy filed a lawsuit against
|
||
Vizio Inc. for what it calls repeated failures to fulfill even the basic
|
||
requirements of the General Public License (GPL).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The lawsuit alleges that Vizio’s TV products, built on its SmartCast system,
|
||
contain software that Vizio unfairly appropriated from a community of
|
||
developers who intended consumers to have very specific rights to modify,
|
||
improve, share, and reinstall modified versions of the software.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Please reference this page for information about the lawsuit, including new
|
||
updates about the case.</p>
