I'm struggling to connect how healthy relationships, marriage or teamwork have anything to do with software being published under a licence, used accordingly by a third party, and the original licensor becoming upset at it being used according to the licence they published it under.
It seems like a lot of emotional language trying to obscure a pretty straightforward situation.
Mutual vulnerability is one of the keys to healthy relationships (in marriage, teamwork etc). From this perspective, the discussed statement makes perfect sense to me.
People avoid building relationships with invulnerable, and normal people don't optimize for their own invulnerability, to not miss out on relationships.
