I'm glad that I can now say that I've contributed Windows support to a project which I probably violated the license of while working on :P By technicality, the license has been violated by quite a large variety of corporations: Microsoft, AWS, Heroku, Bilibili, Baidu, Apache, Arduino, etc. [0~6], and much much more [7] Crazy.

In Project includes a dependancy that has a license that forbids its use

>>> I also think it shows that licenses really don't matter all that much as some people think, they are not computer code. They matter as long you're willing to enforce them, and have the time and money to do so. In that case, you may be able to submit some form of take down request to GitHub against that project and other projects who are using your library. https://github.com/search?q=bouk%2Fmonkey&type=commits edit: wow, one of the projects that depended on your library was arduino up to 2020. https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/commit/09b4e8804fbd61... edit2: was also used by AWS up to last week when they removed it. https://github.com/awslabs/karpenter/commit/d84365e8c44178ea...
