Love/hate this conference because we just had a brief, in-talk, sidetrack to discuss, and collectively groan over, WITH LGPL-3.0-only.

Just dimly remember, but isn't GPL 3 never to be -only?

@mcepl whichever it is/was, it changed at some point and the documentation for that is ungoogleable! So congrats we’re probably both wrong.

(If this makes no sense to you, congratulations! you're a healthy, normal, human being.)

also I am resisting interrupting @hook to argue about (c) YEAR, about which he is wrong and @bagder is correct

@luis_in_brief @hook it has been such a relief to get rid of them...

now talking about an analysis of Apache/GPLv2 compatibility, which simultaneously I find fascinating and I wish to never think about again.

Though good lord this talk… I am going to need to take a stiff drink after it. And bless the Sun attorney who sat me down to talk about conditions in license grants in 2010.

It’s simultaneously an amazing act of textual parsing and a spectacularly pointless counting angels on the head of a pin exercise, with a possible “did we just accidentally break the whole thing” frisson of danger.

Like… ten people in the entire world care about this, six of us are in the room and literally scrambling for a mic for Q&A, and also the entire world economy maybe?

Real bummer that we’re not going to get to the speaker’s question of “how do you tell your clients that the conventional wisdom is wrong and they’ve been wasting their time” which is maybe the one thing the crowd will recognize out of this otherwise completely esoteric discussion.

@luis_in_brief I’ve been on both sides of this question and I’d be really curious in the answer!

My best answer is build lots of trust.
