Oh! I learned today that some students seem to use a collecive Google Doc to take notes during class, where everyone sees if someone's confused and can get an answer right in the moment. Like, a whole lecture hall just taking a group note and at the end of the semester, a huge wiki basically to help you study. Such a brilliant idea.

corporate open source software licensing practice is heading two extremes...

a. as permissive as possible to attract adoption and contribution, with a business model of selling support/customization service
b. as far reaching as possible to make it de facto impossible to comply, with a business model of selling proprietary license

GPL fits neither of them. Heck, even AGPL isn't enough for b., does SSPL's language potentially cover the kernel if your application runs on linux? IANAL ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
