It means you cannot file a complaint for the same thing on the same evidence. The complaint was that Verizon was offering the Actiontec router containing firmware that was not being properly distributed according to the BusyBox GPL. Do you think that Verizon can be sued by the BusyBox authors for continuing to distribute Actiontec firmware without regard to the GPL? Not in the USofA."amicus_curious" <ACDC@sti.net> writes:I don't know that they are "afraid" of Verizon, I think that they dounderstand the meaning of "dismissed with predjudice" though and have no wayto complain of Verizon distributing executable code for Actiontec routers that is not accompanied by any source code or by any reference to a GPL license or even any acknowledgement of same. Stay in denial, but that is not a good thing to do in the long run.A dismissal with prejudice just means you can't refile for a violation that has already occurred. You can always refile for violations occuring after that.
