> I can see many lawyers pushing to completely ban copyleft licensed software use. That's obviously not the best possible outcome, but I feel it would be preferable to corporations flagrantly violating the license and getting away with it. They should really understand that it's a trade-off: use GPL software and release the source (thus avoiding this liability), or pay the cost of developing proprietary software. IMHO they already are liable here, some of them just haven't realized it yet.
