Your Open Source License Is a Social Contract, Not a Rulebook

We treat open source licenses like a tax code to be audited, scanning for SPDX tags and copyright headers. This legalistic approach is creating compliant but ethically bankrupt software.

Your Codebase Is a Patchwork of Stolen Web Snippets
