The LGPL, which the author tried, is not the AGPL, which might have been a larger roadblock to the freeriding unicorn.

- jonhohle 3y agoAny company big enough to have a legal department will tell their devs to say away from LGPL, GPLv3, etc. If a dev is using that as promo for their commercial offering, it will probably just be ignored.
- sokoloff 3y agoMy company is big enough to have a legal department. (I'm the tech counterpart/coordinator with legal for open-source topics, whether its us open-sourcing code we work on, contributing to existing open-source, or consuming open-source.) We license under Apachev2, and we readily use LGPL & GPL v2/v3 with a quick review, and have very specific and much more thorough review processes for AGPL. I'm quite sure that I don't work for the only such company.
