It's not rare to see even very high profile legal firms totally mess up when it comes to software licensing in general and open source licensing in particular. Chalking this one up to incompetence rather than malice until there is proof it is the latter.



That's fine but there needs to be more demand to force competance.

We all grew lax with copyleft cause all this corporate pro open source stuff, and now there isn't a critical mass of AGPL projects compelling Square's lawyers to read harder. I have no idea how to build that critical mass.
