it's quite irrelevant, but I was about to post the same -- the idea of Miguel "becoming unemployable" as a result of this is just delightful.

- geofft 11y agoYeah. Ironically, what would actually make me hesitate to hire someone is seeing them post on a public issue tracker that they believe the GPL is unenforceable and that blatantly violating it is a good idea. Leaving aside their critical thinking abilities, soft skills, etc. it's a serious risk of legal liability to have such a person write code for my company.
- mikeash 11y agoIndeed. They seem eager for Microsoft to intentionally violate the GPL in order to create a court case which they believe would result in invalidating the GPL. Who's to say they wouldn't see an opportunity for causing this to happen by incorporating GPL into whatever project they're working on at their job?

- cannam 11y agoyou wish! they don't hire just anyone, at 'Unemployable Island'
- MTWomg 11y agoThe idea of Miguel getting a job outside of the open sores bubble is also delightful. Maybe mopping floors?
