| There is two basic principles to look at when answering those question. 1) What would a judge/jury perceive as the full copyrighted work, in contrast to individual parts. 2) In all copyright cases there is a author who can enforce copyright. People who want permission to do something which copyright would make illegal need to prove that they are in compliance to the conditions, and its on them to raise the fact that they have a legit license. So to give some quick answers, if judges would see googleapi as the "complete work" then the author of the AGPL could sue Google for not having a license to use FooProject in GoogleAPI. AGPL do have some exceptions which allow internal use, so facebook could raise the AGPL in court and say that the license do give them permission to use FooProject in facebookInternal. It would also depend on the question if the judge/jury perceive FacebookInternal as an individual work or as a part of facebook itself. The AGPL is an additional condition over GPL that restrict work that has an interface that get accessed over a network. The condition would unliekly apply for microsoft BlueRay, through the GPL part would. If Fooproject is a part of AlienNetflixViewer then AlienNetflixViewer need to be under AGPL. When the FooProject is distributed the AGPL license also apply to the MIT licensed parts. If people use the MIT licensed parts exclusively then they only need to follow the MIT license. If a person does not follow the conditions under the AGPL then they do not have the permission for which the license grants. A person who do not have a permission to distributed a copyrighted work and still do it commits the crime of copyright infringement and depending on where, why and what get fined or risk imprisonment. If it is so incorporated into its project its effectively impossible to remove then you either get permission from the author or stop distributing the copyrighted work. Enforcement of copyright depend on local law. It could be as simple as going to the police and file a police report, but usually it involves getting lawyers involved. If a user suspect that someone is infringing copyright then they could inform the author. Knowingly accessing copyrighted material from an illegal source could also be illegal, depending on local law. |
