Getting someone who worked on the thing or someone close to the author to be hired by your company and bumped to a high prestige position probably has more effect on law than a license (just an intuition).

"Hey, that guy worked with the author, and he was hired and now is a super top dog there... he must be the true genius behind it"

I mean that for ideas, not materialized code. You guys are so focused on small text files and miss the big picture sometimes.

Licenses are a small angle for those things.
