I’m not a lawyer, but I recall seeing a comment that one reason companies currently prefer dynamically linked apps in bundles like Snap and Flatpak over static linking, is that dynamic linking permits more open-source libraries to be used without legal issues.
I think it had to do with what legal precedents had been set for linking GPL/LGPL libraries with non-GPL binaries?
