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.

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

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.
