Not sure where you live or what sort of company you work for but in my country & our company we cannot just have a fuck all attitude towards software licenses.

[paulie_a]

The USA and I've been doing it for two decades, honestly copyrights and licenses are not important to me. I have taken a fuck all attitude without consequence and will continue to do so forever.

[misabon]

Haha the plethora of GPL violations that exist without consequence sort of illustrate your point quite well.

[StreamBright]

You think if Oracle's legal team is after your company you get a free get out of license violation card?

[misabon]

Haha, I’m not playing that game because I’m lawsuit averse but I’m not surprised people are successful at it. This JDK includes telemetry so it just got a lot more dangerous to play but otherwise I’d guess license violations are pervasive at small shops.

[malka]

even at big ones.

Though it "sounds bad", this is a wonderfully practical approach. Why waste a lot of time with this BS?

[colejohnson66]

Because it’s a good way to get yourself sued

[icedchai]

Unless you're a very large firm, it's actually not. They'll negotiate with you long before lawyers are involved.
