GPL doesn't prevent anything
Do you actually believe that the GPL license prevents developers from taking code from open source projects? It doesn't prevent anything and there is almost no chance of them being caught. Even if they did the likelihood of anything happening because of it is slim to none. Don't kid yourself. happy

Stop worrying about it  Tiggster | 06/23/09
Isn't that too obvious?  InAction Man | 06/23/09
I guess following your logic...  zkiwi | 06/23/09
Much more difficult  Tiggster | 06/23/09
So...  zkiwi | 06/23/09
Seems to me...  rapson | 06/23/09
Ummm, sue for how much?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/23/09

It has already been tested in both the US and Germany.  B.O.F.H. | 06/23/09
And you think?  Tiggster | 06/23/09
It depends on the license a project/developer uses.  B.O.F.H. | 06/23/09
The question you keep dodging is...  Tiggster | 06/23/09
Tiggster, that is a question best asked of the lawyers.  B.O.F.H. | 06/23/09
This applies to GPL code only, not all Open Source works.  B.O.F.H. | 06/23/09
Cusotmers will learn to avoid companies that can't deliver.  softwareFlunky | 06/24/09
Dana, Are You STILL This Dense on The GPL?  dumptux | 06/24/09
