> I think you need to explain your scenario a bit better. If I'm developing a mastodon fork that I intend to run on a small private network for my company, and I accidentally expose it to the internet for a few minutes in error, and a person hits the site, under the letter of the license I am forced to disclose my source code to that person. My IP is no longer in my control and has been disclosed to a third party. This is not complicated. That scenario may be far fetched, but it becomes less far fetched if we actually get to a court case where a site was up for a little while and then was taken down and the legal system needs to rule on if this can be enforced from such scenarios. The political nature of this being disclosed publicly also seems like a huge error if they expect to be able to force source disclosure in court.
