{L,}GPLv{2,3} has corporate lawyers consistently shitting themselves. I derive meaning from this.



Then I hate to break it to you but that’s totally not true. It might have PMs or engineers shitting themselves, but the lawyers don’t really care. It’s just not a big deal.


They play that game because they have to. Your average Joe is not going to be sued for ignoring a license.

A law is only as good as its enforcement.
