How would you enforce this?
- londons_explore 3y agoDon't enforce it. You'll still get a decent pay from those who want to play by the rules.
- devmor 3y agoAsk Unity and Epic, seems to work for them.
- connicpu 3y agoLarge corporations are going to play by the rules just because in general it's cheaper than risking going to court eventually over not following them. Sure some small fries who borderline should be paying you may not, but in the grand scheme that won't be losing you a ton of money compared to the big fish who will pay.
- probablynish 3y agoOh that makes sense. I thought the suggestion was referring to individuals and not corporations - eg "individuals should buy a license if they earn more than $80k/year" or something. That seems tougher to enforce.
- GoToRO 3y agoAs others said it enforces itself. Also if a company has wild success with your software there is a good chance you will find out. Also, in my country there is an angency that checks that companies paid for the software they use.
