Indeed. License compliance is something very secretive, the old-styled management does not really want to hear they are using GPL. When the company gets acquired is a shock discovering otherwise. Would be better to understand what GPL is all about, rather than hiding. Last year we had a company in Germany that the acquisition failed because they were not respecting the copyleft licenses.
Would appreciate your help. How can we get in contact? There is a contact form on our website if you wish. Thank you! :-)
- osivertsson 11y agoWhat makes me really sad is organizations where management sort of understands, but argues things like: * we have never cared about this since we started way back and it has worked fine! * it will cost us time and money, let's ignore it. * how could someone ever find out? That said, having a tool that can clearly point to problems could be a big help when management changes and someone sympathetic to uncovering and fixing license issues comes in. (Contact details are in my profile.)
