Go Proposal: Accept GitHub PRs

I don't understand. Whether you had the document or not, MegaCorp's lack of permission remains the same.

And Google's benefit from your MegaCorp contributions remains the same. MegaCorp legal recourses remain the same.

The situation is exactly the same.

No, because before Google was guilty of using MegaCorp IP, but now, you're guilty of telling them they could, so you are responsible now, not Google.

I'd like to hear that opinion from a lawyer. While it makes sense, the reality of the law doesn't always make sense.

(1) Either way you're guilty.

(2) Either way Google competitor has damages on MegaCorp.
