I think the reason you’re getting downvotes is that Apache is a non profit foundation, not a for profit company. So fining them isn’t going to do a lot of good (as well as being very unlikely to succeed)
- b112 4y agoThe point is to get them to fix, or take it down. A fine per day, until compliance, can motivate well. Being nonprofit doesn't mean you can willingly hurt people (getting hacked) either.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoA fine for what crime?
- shkkmo 4y ago> Apache is a non profit foundation, not a for profit company. So fining them isn’t going to do a lot of good Why? I don't see why fining non-profits is any less effective than fining for-profits.
- taftster 4y agoPossibly even more effective.
- kjeetgill 4y agoIt might be effective... but is it doing any good?
- pessimizer 4y agoIf you think getting OpenOffice off people's machines is good.

- ncmncm 4y agoNonprofits can obey a court orders same as anybody else. When they are obviously in the wrong, it is hard to understand why they would resist. That said, it is hard to understand why they resist good sense now. Except, "Apache is where free software projects go to die."
