gollark: I mean, books always have that filler text at the start saying "do not reproduce, store or use this in any way whatsoever without the permission of the publisher" or something like that.
gollark: Hmm. I wonder if that's actually enforceable anywhere.
gollark: Depends on the license, but I think the GPLs require that stuff linked with yours in some ways adopts the same license.
gollark: Copyleft forces all things using your thing to also be copyleft.
gollark: The entire thing.
