Surprised at the lack of discussion here. This is a huge story. Hopefully this won’t go anywhere. I guess it entirely depends on the employee contract they signed whilst at Rambler?

I was surprised too. I wonder why this did not catch the attention?

> This would, in turn, open up effectively the entire developed world's tech industry to shakedowns for licensing fees—both for continued operation, and in theory, retroactively for more than a decade of "unlicensed" usage.

Even I'd they change the license now why would it apply retroactively? Previous usage was under a permissive license.

I would rather bet that there are some people interested in making this story not reach the frontpage.
