Indeed, but the Apache license is quite different from BSD or GPL v3. In my opinion, less restrictions on all users naturally fragments any attempt to lock-down generic features in the ecosystem. Submarine Patent attacks using FOSS code as a delivery mechanism is far more of a problem these days, as users often can't purchase rights even if trying to observe legal requirements. The first-to-file laws also mean published works may be captured even if already in the public domain. It is a common error to think commercial entities are somehow different from the university legal outreach departments. Yet they often offer the same legal peril, and unfeasible economic barriers to deployment. Best regards, =3 [VIDEO]

On the other hand, sometimes "pirate" seems to have a positive connotation. [VIDEO] And interestingly the 3rd highest comment on that video currently is about Disney+.
