Why to think like a wageslave.

The old-school linux contributors did not do it for money, and their 
copyrights (obviously) are still good.

Why would you give a shit if you were blacklisted from "the industry", 
you have a cause of action in your hands. Legal action can reap you 
dividends that you would never otherwise achieve through your entire 
life.

A cause of action is worth 100 or 1000 of your earning years, often.

If bloc-recissions and litigation happen, you may not have an industry 
to blackball them from.

And you can't "just reimplement" the removed code and functionality 
either: as that may be infringing on the previous work as-well :). More 
litigation follows to determine that.
