  • Don’t waste time trying to reason them. If you’re not able and willing and sue them to enforce the GPL license, the company won’t care.

    You should directly informe one of the organisations mentioned previously, they may have a lawyer and experience fighting this kind of fight.

    Best you can do youself is collect evidence that they’re distributing modified GPL software, and write a precise description of the issue, to help these organisations kickstart their investigation into the GPL violation.



  • Wrong choices happen when there’s deletion of useful historical data, motivated by short-term cost saving.

    Wrong choices also happen when there’s unnecessary creation on data, such as logging and storing everything, just in case, with a verbose level.

    Storage can be cheap in some cases, but high-availablility high-performance cloud storage is very expensive. Anyway, it’s not infinite.

    The way to keep useful data is to be strategic and only store relevant logs. Fine tune retention policy especially for fastest growing data. Storing everything on high-cost storage, without smart retention policy, could lead to deleting git data to make place for a mix of debug logs and random shit.
