The lwn article says it's "SFLC v. Best Buy". it's actually "Conservancy v. Best Buy, et al". In this case, SFLC acts as lawyers to plaintiffs in the matter. The plaintiffs are "Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc." and "Erik Andersen".

"Best Buy" as defendant

Was Best Buy a defendant (I'm not sure if "defendant" or "respondent" is correct in this case) because of its own Insignia TV's, or because selling e.g. "Westinghouse" (or Sony or Panasonic) TV's with embedded Linux makes it effectively a distributor of GPL'd software and therefore subject to the requirement to make source available?
