Name an example where that was actually an issue. And I'm talking explicitly about single functions and even single lines of code.
- bhaak 5y agoThat's not how lawyers think. Microsoft's programmers were (are?) not allowed to read GPL code to rule out any doubt that they might be copy GPL code into the codebase, even if only unconsciously. Lawyers are not just for suing they are also for covering your ass so there is no way you could lose if you are getting sued.
