Open source (and by extension a large chunk of software industry) runs on the expectation that people won't do random disruptive things even if it is plainly stated in the license that there is no such guarantee. Perhaps we should move away from this expectation (and events such as these will certainly accelerate the transition), but this is the current state of affairs.

Counterpoint: much of our industry is often described as being in the business of disruptive technology.
It's been educational for me to watch how developers are reacting when they're on the receiving end of the disruption.
