> For those who are whining about this issue. All these issues are common in development. If you say it's not, you haven't worked on serious projects with so much pressure to deliver. Don't most "serious" companies have lawyers that will spit venom at you if you even think about looking at code that doesn't have a permissible enough license?

There does not exist a license permissible enough that allow you to remove the license and replace it.
They are rarely used.

Apple Computers were already taken to court before they entered the music business but settled and part of that settlement was not to enter the music "biz". Obviously they did later enter the music business, which is when Apple Corp (the record label) litigated for a second time.
Pretty sure they had signed and entered an agreement preemptively, and their subsequent violation is what caused the later suit.

Phew! As the owner of https://tron.pk I literally spilled my morning coffee over the keyboard, just reading the title.
You should get a ThinkPad, at least, one of the models with an under-keyboard drip tray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U5n2WaMMHo I think Apple have the same basic design, just they use the motherboard, which has to be replaced after each spill ;)

WTFPL
Doing WTF you want is still limited by copyright law. You could argue that WTFPL is also an implied copyright reassignment, but I would not bet on it.

More like a prophet at this point. It's very interesting to see how bubbles plays out. I do think cryptocurrencies are real and have big potential, but after seeing likes tron, verge, and doge, I also believe the current valuations are biggest bubbles of our lifetimes. Yet, you see people justifying ~10b$ valuation on the premise of a whitepaper written with broken english, then partnerships that are merely vaporware…
With <30 transactions/s, which is state-of-art, they don't have any future. If a better protocol keeping Satoshi's goals but more scalable is invented, then we will see something that might not be just a bubble.
If someone figured out a way to peg the value of crypto to some other big currency that would have potential - but then the speculators wouldn't be making 10x.

Aww man you mean these alternative cryptocurrencies are just copy pasting from github and giving them a new name? I like that people publish their code and then cry when people take it. The area between FOSS and proprietary software is a purgatory for people with analysis paralysis that can’t pick a fucking side.
So because I want to show the world something I wrote and think is cool, it’s ok for others to copy it, and I shouldn’t complain if they do so illegally?

legal doesn't know what it doesn't know implementing controls to prevent or detect this kind of copypasta is very hard.. even more so at larger "serious" companies that have dozens of development teams spread across the world working on an enormous catalog of products this happens far more than people want to admit.. there's a very slippery slope when it comes to searching for help online.. it's amazing how quickly a…
The controls to prevent developers from doing this sort of stuff in a serious company should be to let them know they will face disciplinary action/lose their job if they pull it.
