Could you provide some more details about this? Statements from those companies about what they care about exactly, or open source policies that you can point at? I ask because this is contrary to my own personal experience where commercial users care about the top-line license (including not wanting to use licenses that we consider free) but do not care about the work that Debian does beyond that and routinely use software based on the declared upstream license on GitHub without giving it a second though. However, my personal experience is limited, and I'd be happy to be educated! -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
