I wonder how a lawyer could sue if the people who own the license don't
go along with the lawsuit.
It seems the solution would be for another group to look at any of the
source code that has a questionable license and write their own code
that does the same job. Since the US is no longer a free country, they
should be in other countries so the thugs here will have a harder time
threatening or harassing them.
