In other words, just violate the license until you get caught? I don't understand what you are saying here.

- postfuturist 14y agoIf you violate the GPL license on code you are distributing, you can be legally compelled to stop distributing the code and pay damages to aggrieved parties. You cannot be compelled to fulfill arbitrary requirements of the license, like sharing private information, your own source code, punch yourself in the face, fly to the moon, or give up custody of your first-born child.
- stordoff 14y agoIf you successfully argue that the GPL forms a contract (and I'm not sure if it does or not), you can argue for specific performance instead of damages.
