Summary

Discusses a case in China in which plaintiff's software is under GPL-3.0, excepting plugins used by defendant. Plugins are treated as independent works, and not clearly marked as GPL-3.0, so defendant did not have permission to use. Though there was no ruling directly on GPL-3.0, it was quoted and discussed in the ruling, an important milestone in China for OSS licensing.
