Thats the question, right? And thats exactly the point. It is about weighing the real cost of trillions of replicated license sections against some theoretical/imaginary risk of so…

that make sense to me, but has this ever happened? has anyone ever downloaded some (in some way broken) software by an unpaid open source developer and then tried to sue that perso…

License texts are copied billions of times every day. In most cases, accompanying software by unpaid open source developers. - Are there cases where such a person has been sued due…
