The Software Freedom Law Center on March 8 will publish a white paper that dismisses recent publications that have alleged <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1934885,00.asp?kc=ewnws030706dtx1k0000599">GNU General Public License violations</A> in relation to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The three-page white paper, titled "Sarbanes-Oxley and the GPL: No Special Risk," essentially counsels users of the free software license that they have no need to worry. That white paper follows those from the legal department at embedded systems seller Wasabi Systems. Wasabi Systems has created a Web site that contains a licensing guide that includes a section on how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act "has changed the open source landscape by making GPL violations a federal crime."
