Out of curiosity, wouldn't the gov just ignore the license if they really wanted to use it? Is anyone really going to stop them or even say something?

- TeMPOraL 8y agoThe government isn't an indivisible entity. It's made of lots and lots of people, bundled in very many departments. There's plenty of competition at both individual and department levels. Sure, at the very top, the President himself could just says "fuck it, we're using the software anyway". But most of the time, if someone in the government decided to ignore a license, they'd be risking their job (or possibly freedom).
