I have the question in https://mastodon.social/@whitequark/112014162270436413 about open source licenses as well.
There've been a number of cases where a company was caught violating the. AFAIK, there were no meaningful consequences in any of the cases I'm aware of.
Now that this has been tested and companies know that they can get away with open source license violation, why should we expect that companies take these licenses seriously? Maybe Amazon and Google will, but say we're talking about some random $5B company
