> So, are you saying people should only obey the laws

Depends on what the law is.

Also, this may not even be illegal. Maybe this is just a legal loophole, and people are obeying the law.

In which case I am very happy that Microsoft found a completely legal loophole that will cause more code to be shared.

So by " side step copyright protections", we could just say that this is a completely legal loophole that has the effect of allowing more code to be shared but does not overrule other laws.

Which I think is good!
