I disagree with this article. I'm french, I know Guillaume and don't like
Viguard, so I think that I could chat about that a little more.

Guillaume was convicted not for his publication, but because he used first
a "pseudo" illegal copy of tegam viguard, and disassemble not for compatibility

The decision of the court is defined as "really friendly" for the researcher
community. 

This point of view is explained by a french lawyer there :

See ya.
