The tool itself is infringing copyright. It possesses and reproduces copyrighted code without it's attribution. Full stop.
If I steal your television, it doesn't matter how much I get for it at the pawn shop.
- nl 4y agoYou can Google and find GPL'ed code. That doesn't mean Google is facilitating license violation even though the Google search index posses and reproduces GPL'ed code. > It possesses and reproduces copyrighted code without it's attribution. To be clear - attribution does not fix GPL license violation.
- Beldin 4y agoYou can Google and find GPL'ed code. Emphasis mine. This is different from asking Google and getting code directly from Google without the license - that is, without any indication that this code was taken from somewhere that has a license on all parts of it, not just the parts that Google didn't bother to show you.
