A California court may compel Vizio to disclose the source code for its SmartCast TV software, which is reportedly based on open source code licensed under GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1. The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) has filed a legal complaint seeking this access to enable Vizio customers to modify and enhance the platform.
