@Suiseiseki > a business can go and make changes to the software and then sue you with software patents

How can they get one in the first place, anyway? I thought the process of granting patents require you to prove that the thing has never been published by someone else?

> An individual doesn't always need to enforce the GPLv3-or-later personally - there are some lawyers that are willing to sue for you as long as they get the damages

Sure, that's good, but then again, for a lot of us here retaining a lawyer isn't within our means

In the end it's just me wishing that there's a way to get libre software while completely avoiding the mess that is copyright and IP laws, that is all~
