Thanks, that could be it, I suppose.<p>But I don&#x27;t understand why my comment would be considered that ridiculous. I&#x27;ve worked at a company where it was not forbidden, but strongly frowned upon to use open source of any kind (&quot;because we need to be able to keep someone accountable if the software breaks&quot;). And on top of my mind I recall several stories by Patio11 where he talks about trying to get a piece of software in his days as salary man. And getting plain refused from his manager, because the software was way too cheap.<p>Agreed, none of these examples are specifically about GPL, but they would very well cover the statement I responded to: &quot;GPL code can be used anywhere&quot;.<p>And just to be super clear: I wasn&#x27;t trying to make a &quot;cute&quot; comment about a super extreme situation. I was merely trying to present a little more nuance to the statement given.
