Your interpretation of the court decision is quite awkward. We must adhere to the GPLv3 license instead of LGPL. Not a word about NPL or forcing us to use your logo. SmartStore.NET 2.1 will have GPLv3 in conclusion.

But only in your dreams.

Of course we will. Now it's our turn! A higher court will deal with the issue now.
a.m. wrote:They can try to delay court results this way.
No, absolutely not! We yearn for a final word. But the only decision(s) we could accept are: "put the damn logo into the footer", OR, "do whatever you want".

There won't be a "friendly" deal as long as I work here. You and your pals played too rude and unfair during the trial, without waiting for a court result. You cannot have both!

No, it won't, believe me! :-))))))))

You're a very kind person ;-)

Like I said... NO!
