What's with all the weasel words? Why can't anyone seem to admit - look I'm sorry I didn't pay close attention to the license, as I now know I should have.

Is it really that hard to admit that you were lazy? Is it really a better call to paint this as "hey, we were just having fun and decided to 'collaborate' (screw the details), look we even mentioned these guys, #hashtag and everything"... What's up with technical people these days. Doesn't anyone care about the details anymore? Full stack developer, yeah, for sure!

    Because if you admit that, they can use those words against you in court. Saying "i am just lazy" is the most obvious form of professional negligence.
