| Apr 12 at 14:39 | comment | added | x64 | @MadHatter all that is written in your source is that in US third-party rights "depend on the wording", in UK "no third-party rights exist" and in EU "third-party rights do exist, and specific performance is available". With such a degree of clarity what is all about, I will rather stick to my original interpretation. | |
| Apr 12 at 11:05 | comment | added | MadHatter♦ | This is not true everywhere. The rights of someone other than the licensor and licensee to sue for infringement (third-party rights) vary by jurisdiction. This LWN article explains in much more length (full disclosure: I wrote the article, but I did not give the talk on which it is based). | |
