Nobody can answer this because it depends on the code and the resources of the entity suing you, but in general yes. This is why clean room design is a well-defined strategy: depen…

You're intentionally conflating scale here to make them seem the same. > no warning that somebody/something is ingesting the repo An individual reading code on their own time is no…

Regardless of the legality, one of these situations is clearly ethical compared to the other. In the case were you get a job based on your knowledge of GPL software, you still must…

Yes, of course it does, because if every user opted out then the model would not work as well as it does, and github would not be able to profit off the work of others to the degre…

If the person doesn't get charged in the end, eventually the police will stop showing up when the Port Authority calls because someone takes a picture.

I think I understand what you're saying, but the GP is correct, and did respond to what you said > Someone would cry at work and they'd be coddled, yet if someone else raised their…

I honestly don't care about any startup (especially a dying one) enough to remember where the periods are supposed to go if there is more than one.
