Even in this instance though, I’m not sure that this really falls at the feet of the person that uploaded it.
IANAL, but if someone naively uploads my copyrighted code and just checks the MIT License box without knowing better, I’m not about to sue them over it. I’m not sure “but this 13 year old kid learning to code for the first time uploaded it under a permissive license and it got gobbled up by our crawler so it’s not our fault your honour” would be an effective defence in court, either.
That all said, I’ve largely just described any modern search engine which has been working in this way for years. So.. shrug?
Will no doubt be litigated at some point down the road.
