A few years ago, a substantial amount of money was accidentally wired to my bank account. After about a month, I got a letter from the bank if I agreed on that money being wired back to the sender. I agreed, because I knew the implications.

FYI, diceware has been shown to be insecure with three words. Four is better, but also crackable by an attacker with a few thousand dollars to throw at it. Five and up is safe for the next few years.

I'm also not a lawyer. I assumed that since they're making such a big deal about the GPL being considered a contract in this case, that in other cases it wasn't considered a contract. It feels like they're saying a breac
