November 3, 2006: Reply to Motions; Defending Open-Source Copyright

On November 3, 2006, we filed an opposition (basically, a rebuttal argument) to Katzer's motion of September 28th in which he argues that copyright law shouldn't apply to his theft of the JMRI files. There are various technical elements involved, but the most important parts are the sections defending the use of copyright for protecting open-source software (pages 3 through 10). The next steps were a reply from Katzer, due on November 17th, then a decision from the Court. We will probably have a tentative ruling the day before the hearing (currently scheduled for January 19th, 2007), followed by the final ruling.
