> Open source (and by extension a large chunk of software industry) runs on the expectation that people won't do random disruptive things even if it is plainly stated in the license that there is no such guarantee.

Counterpoint: much of our industry is often described as being in the business of disruptive technology.

It's been educational for me to watch how developers are reacting when they're on the receiving end of the disruption.

There's industry disruption and there's bs like this. If I threw in a random CTD and called it "DISRUPTION" , I'd be rightly laughed out of the room.
