I think I found something quite disturbing in my work. I think there was a GPL violation and that was raised sometime back but never resolved, it just disappeared. I know that many companies have a long standing record of GPL violations.
The moral of the story is that it's almost pointless to fight these people. They will abuse legal systems that are designed to protect owners but as thieves. Reverse Engineering work has to be done correctly or it will be killed off. Justice has to battle corporations that could influence the USA, Russia and China.
I stated earlier that it was almost pointless and I meant it. People can be made to suffer from doing what's right. If one wants to do the right thing and learn how much more pain can be experienced than they thought possible, they will be the people who make a difference.

In short, people are also the one's who go back to these games and dynamics - so certain amount is being trapped but like walking into a bad shop again or playing casino risking things and then complaining we (they) have to also choose to literally make our (their) own thing... join me in chat and let's make something else!...
DM me when ready... ANYONE lol... but serious! Time is running out...
I was reading through Licenses for software while taking a break and I found something in Apache License v2.
Section 3.
..."If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed."
Oh the harder they come, the harder they fall.
