You quoted Voltaire, slightly modified, without attribution. If only he had licensed it under AGPL then you'd have to give attribution. I guess he must have done it under MIT or BSD.

- jlgaddis 6y agoFWIW, I was quoting my grandfather. I have heard the name Voltaire before but did not know who he was until I just looked it up -- and I'd wager my grandfather didn't know who he was either. Thus, there's the issue of intent (or lack thereof). I suppose Voltaire can terminate my license if he wishes. However: a.) I have a feeling that (after being dead for 242 years) he doesn't care and b.) I very much look forward to receiving a letter from his lawyer informing me of such.
