    I love one of the clauses of gplv3 where if a user does not follow the gpl you may deny them their ability to use it forever.

    Would be funny to strike Nintendo with that. Or any other company that likes suing people work.

        Probably on Nintendo switch because of the hardware they use. But no idea at all. It was just an example.

        Companies want to enforce their licences strictly but when free software community asks them they are like: “ups mistake, sorry, forgive us”.

        Free software licences should be respected with the same degree as they so with privative ones.

        They use xmpp as their messaging system I think. Xmpp is open source, but I am not sure about the licence used.

          XMPP is a protocol, the GPL covers software implementing these protocols. They could use their own proprietary XMPP client and server without any legal issues.

        They use WebKit that uses a rendering engine, JavaScript engine underLGPLv2.1 in the switch.
