I used to explain Qualcomm as a navy of lawyers and a dinghy of developers.

I spent SO MUCH TIME getting legal review to publish code.

One of my favorite battles was someone out there in the wild took the Microsoft boilerplate MIDL (MIT 2.0) and stripped the headers, licensing them as GPL. So our boilerplate MIDL files suddenly got ducked and we couldn't ship them any more.

Unless we had someone rewrite them.
