Hi Ryan,
This is a good example of the old expression "the wheels of justice turn slowly." We did appeal the case, but we haven't had anything else to say about it in the interim at the Foundation. Germany, like the U.S., has only one high court and they take a long while to do anything. And work on this kind of case is mostly us internally tweaking documents and then waiting. It's still around though and we're hoping that the BGH reconsiders it on appeal.
Best, Jacob

Two years ago, the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland lost an important case against the Reiss Engelhorn Museum in Germany,[1] but according to the press, we were intending to appeal the decision.[2] Since then, I haven't heard anything else about the case. Did we ever proceed with an appeal?
