Copyright holders care about a lot of things, doesn’t mean they are legally defensible.
If you have code under a restrictive license but we acquire it and use it privately for our own needs in trade secret processes how would you even know?
- ben_w 4y agoAppropriately the same way they knew about this exact thing, even with software, before every business was connected to the internet: the BSA, for example, which I understand performs audits. And if that isn't good enough, I'm sure the copyright holders can lobby for whatever to make it easier to find, and they'll only be thwarted in this if the governments are convinced that the interests of the lobbyists are no longer aligned with the government's interests.
