> The statute of limitations is 3 years for copyright infringement ... nope. Not even in the US, where "3 years" as you claim is from the possible discovery date, not the infrigment date (https://www.michaelbest.com/Newsroom/340003/US-Supreme-Court-Revises-3-Year-Statute-of-Limitations-for-Copyright-Infringement-Damages https://www.michaelbest.com/Newsroom/340003/US-Supreme-Court...), and this would probably only accrue when the source code is released (as it can be argued that it would be difficult to see a more subtle copyright infrigment on object code). Also statutory damages exists, so even for no revenue there is a reasonable possibility that they will be sued for that alone (similar to how game and music piracy lawsuits work). > and 6 years for patents Other jurisdictions like Germany (no limits) exists.
