Globaleaks is an AGPLv3+ SaaS application for anonymous whistleblowing, developed by the Hermes Center. After receiving a prototype, the Italian Anticorruption authority (ANAC) re-published a version under EUPL, modifying attribution & copyright statement, removing reasonable notice from GUI, and failing to fully comply with source code obligations. The controversy was brought to Court and eventually settled, restoring the correct license, and patching the other issues. Several lessons learned.
