Hi guys, just a short debrief of our (Stéphane, Till, myself) meeting here. I think generally we're quite happy about how it went. The judge was very knowledgable and understood our arguments and evidence pretty well. The burden of proof has been reversed for Houdini (IIUC), and we understand that termination by few copyright holders is possible. The scope of termination is something that needs further work (which versions, which code, etc). The alternative would be to settle, with terms that we need to reflect on, and in particular also discuss with Tord.

It has been very nice to meet a few of you in person, that was definitely the most enjoyable aspect of these days!
We will be getting a report from Till and take some time to reflect. A next brief is due in September, while a next hearing is scheduled for March 2023.
