5th Aug 2005 an order was handed down from a supreme court judge in Brisbane Australia at 10am.

Injunction restraining the defendant his servants or agents from directly using, disclosing, selling, transferring or in any other manner dealing with the software written or developed or configured by the defendant relating to the VOIP network proposed by the plaintiff including any correspondence, notes , records or other documentation relating to such software, and any variations on the same.

The complete solution was based on open source applications and they received a copy of the GPL before the project commenced and had been given access to the source code used. I am unable to disclose the open source applications used.

I note i was required to shutdown the servers and the platform used yesterday including private projects because the same base linux version was used.

The issue started when i was contracted to create a network based on open source applications, the party contracting myself decided to drop the project and items in the agreement between them and i are still outstanding including payment and this is an on going battle in the courts.

Until that is all settled I’m not required to hand over the hardware or applications, source code, notes etc... but under the license GPL i am required to provide it so i have provided the source code etc including all alterations made and there source code... This allowing myself to stay within the license GPL.

I don’t believe they are able to give the injunction and need advice on what or if anything i can do.

My understanding of Open source. It is free to use alter or distribute under the GPL and its conditions.
