I'm just not convinced that these licenses are realistically enforceable. A lot of binaries aren't going to show obvious signs in the output. I would have to reverse engineer every binary that might be using my code and look for a sign that they are violating the license so that I might be able to get a discovery request and sue them.
As of right now, I just feel like the best thing to do is not put my code out there, and just binaries. If a company likes what they see then they can pay me for the code.
fair point... probably easier to detect with bytecode languages.
But even if you put binaries out, they can steal them, it's just harder... I guess, making it harder is the point as a form of deterrence. Dunno, these things are hard questions :)
