A lot of time is often wasted any time somebody disrespects somebody else's copyright. Litigation is usually costly. The companies misappropriating GPL software are thus causing a lot of time and effort to be expended. If they respected the copyrights of software authors, all of this discussion would be unnecesary. I don't know if you have any influence over any of the companies that so often misappropriate GPL software. If you do, you should do your best to discourage them. If they do use GPL software, the least they can do -- it takes almost zero effort -- is to include a copy of the GPL with the software. Including a copy of the license will be a signal that they are not trying to deliberately hide their own wrong-doing. -- Rahul http://rahul.rahul.net/ _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
