>I've been trying to tell everyone licensing is more important than they realize, but there are so many people who fundamentally misunderstand licensing and therefor just don't care
Maybe they don't care because in reality its not a problem?
In the sense that it's not a problem people generally have -- not that nobody ever has had it.
A lot of people worry too much about all kinds of BS eventualities and technicalities, and this could be one of them in most cases.
>Now that we have a concrete example of how picking tooling with bad licensing can bite people in the butt
It only bit FB in the butt (in the sense that some developers complained about their license choice) -- not those using the tooling with FB license.
