But would $BIG_CORP publish source on request for a proprietary product just because they built one version with a GPL library by mistake and later fixed it? Has this been successful, ever?
- Macha 5y agoIsn't this how OpenWRT got started?
- erosenbe0 5y agoDepends on the composition of CORP. If it is comprised of developers with strong respect for OSS or FS community they might not stand for non-disclosure. OTOH, plenty of orgs would be mainly folks without a strong opinion either way and would just follow executive direction.
