I find the "EMBEDDED MALWARE DESTROYED MONTHS OF WORK" issue opened on the jqwik repo to be baffling. Do they not use source control? And if not, what are they doing on Git Hub
Source control is not a backup.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"technically he didn't do that. Your sql server followed instructions when they should have just treated them as a string." Yet, hopefully we can agree that sql injections are illegal.

F-secure once included a clause to use their wifi that you "assign their first born child to us for the duration of eternity." It was funny, but not legally enforceable and would have offered them no legal shelter if they'd gone out on a kidnapping spree that night.
Open source copyright license can't actually restrict how you use the code. Clever hack though if the log message really did cause agents to delete code!
Of course it can. They can license the code for use under almost any terms they like, including restricting how you use the code. The GPL imposes conditions on your use of the code / program, as does the MIT License. If you don't follow the conditions then you do not have a license to use the program / code & are open to claims of copyright infringement. You might choose to ignore the licenses on the code you use, bu…
