Stop intertwining complete nonsense with tropes in order to try add credibility to your outrageous claims.
- IANAL.
- Get a lawyer.
- You probably know a lawyer.
Thank you for adding absolutely nothing to the conversation. The only common theme is that you think you shouldn't interpret a license yourself and act upon that.
What little substance is present in your comments is however in direct contradiction to that. You proceed to interpret a license, and tell people that violating it is fine, because the courts will probably think it's fine.
What? I just really hope anyone reading this can see through the tropes and realise you're in no position to be giving out advice.
The only advice I've given is read the licence, and to the best of your ability, act with accordance with the license. I'm 100% okay with that.
EDIT:
> Look into your social network. I have 3 or 4 lawyers who went to the same college I did. When I have a legal question, I do call them up.
> My experience is that for a volunteer project, open source, or similar, most lawyers are glad to chat.
These claims are highly dubious.
There are several lawyers in my extended family. I went to school with many more. They most certainly are not "glad to chat" about legal matters. Giving out any advice that may be construed as legal advice is a huge deal for them. You either know highly unprofessional lawyers, or you're making this up.
