> The point is, who gives a damn about (doing an illegal thing) in reality, on their (private property where nobody is likely to see that)?

I'm not sure which part of that you find confusing. Some people will estimate benefit>risk and won't care.



What? I do not find anything confusing. You live in a Marvel world if you think a LICENSE is going to stop people from using a product. But like you said, it is not intended to be for enforcement purposes, but Huawei is trying to save its own ass.

So what is your answer? Mostly companies only? That is a fair answer, but you are the one who said this:

> You'll be both breaking their licence and potentially your local European data laws.

Again, who cares, dude? Companies might, but individuals probably give a rat's ass. So why leave that comment?

And just for the record, if you quote someone, quote them verbatim, otherwise it is not a quote.


Breath.


Been there, done that.

That said, I agree that it is my fault that self-contradicting virtue signaling hypocrites always find a way to irk me.

And I think it is good for the world to know that the LICENSE often means jack shit, unless when companies of significant size are involved.

Again, we all agree that they put it there to cover their own asses, not that Europeans cannot download, install, and run their product, right?


Yes we’re all aware of the unlimited rights of Europeans, including subjecting the rest of the world to annoying cookie notifications.


Europeans definitely do not have unlimited rights, and I do not agree with the annoying cookie crap either.
