- nfriedly 7y agoYep. When I was at IBM, part of releasing something was a review every of dependency and it's license. The stuff I worked on wasn't allowed to include any GPL code. (Or WTFPL, for that matter, but I think that had more to do with curse words than actual license issues.)
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoCouldn't you just "relicense" WTFPL code as MIT code (or proprietary code, for that matter) and call it a day?
- nfriedly 7y agoHaha, probably, but it wasn't a big deal to replace it with something else.
