LGPL enforced in Germany: how we helped a purchaser use the courts to compel compliance

SFC funded and supported Sebastian Steck's lawsuit against wireless router manufacturer AVM. That lawsuit has recently concluded. At the end of the lawsuit, complete source code for all LGPL works had been made available, which means everything needed to reinstall changes, for the FRITZ!Box 4020. This marks the first time to our knowledge in Germany that an individual purchaser has successfully sued a manufacturer and received complete source code as a result. This talk will describe what the case was about, what the compliance issues were before the lawsuit, and how "the scripts used to control compilation and installation" that AVM provided over the course of the lawsuit brought them into compliance with LGPLv2.1.
