In reply to: Why doesn't VIZIO just comply? by IanKelling
Parent article: SFC v. VIZIO: who can enforce the GPL?

We used the same name as appears in the court filings, including in the SFC's complaint. To have done anything else would have been confusing at best. I don't quite see how Walmart would benefit from this..?
