I honestly thing we need that third party instance that audits proprietary code for the licenses it uses to see if there's a breach. Then they could sue all the companies that don't abide by the license. Most likely GAFAM would lobby against such a thing because they know they use a lot of opensource stuff that could force them to opensource their stuff, but honestly, fuck them. They've made a killing on the backs of free work.
