Having sold a company to IBM, I can attest that this issue would be a Big Problem. {Edit: I mean for any company that used BlackBlaze diagrams labeled "proprietary."}
We are talking about the company that got a license to use json for evil
They should have sold those (framed of course) to raise money for the JSON folks (expenses and such).
A big problem for BB if they were to have open source-licensed tech and got acquired by a megacorp, or a big problem for a "kinda-sorta-licensee" of their tech once acquired?
It was a joke, emphasis on IBM 'Big" stuff...
That was the pun, yes, but my comment was about a real issue.
A problem for a startup using these documents without a clear license.
It would not be a problem for Back Blaze being acquired.
