You think that paid proprietary software does not have this property?
- Brian_K_White 2y agoI worked for a small software shop for about 20 years and then the owner sold us to a big multinational company. People from the new company were telling us that they had just recently come through a big MS audit and were pleased with themselves that they had come through ok. I was boggled that they were pleased to have been audited and blessed by fucking Microsoft. Talk about "wind up in a lawsuit..." I am just trying to imagine freaking auditors from Gimp or Apache showing up and demanding to rifle through all your computers to make sure you aren't violating Gimp's GPL license. But GPL or AGPL is overbearing. People have somehow just lost any sense of rational perspective about just what is reasonable and unreasonable.
