In 2023, Vizio filed a motion for summary adjudication (PDF) seeking to avoid a trial (a judge denied the motion later that year (PDF). In the motion, Vizio argued that “SFC is not an intended third-party beneficiary to GPLv2 or LGPLv2.1 and, thus, doesn’t have the right to sue Vizio to enforce license terms.”

Holy shit. The balls on them.

By that logic, nobody has a right to sue, and they can walk all over the open source community.

Fuck these assholes.
