Simple: no license, no copy.
It doesn’t matter how many copies you make, you still need a license. The “defence” of “I didn’t agree to the license” is basically admitting knowing and wilful infringement.
- InfiniteRand 5y agoI don’t think the act of copying could be illegal since backups are a thing
- contravariant 5y agoThat seems a weird interpretation because the very act of reading the published code (including its license) is an act of copying.
