      Most people are unaware that even open source projects have licenses: Permissive license, Strong Copyleft, Weak Copyleft etc.

      Some resources:

      1. https://web.archive.org/web/20240409042029/https://www.mend.io/blog/top-open-source-licenses-explained/
      2. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses

          And all those licenses rely on copyright and IP law.

              And all those global faceless multicorps requiring you to agree to their 200 page eula rely on that foss licensed goodness, without ever contributing an iota back to the source.
