Whether you're bankrupted by legal fees, bankrupted by having to
pay huge damages, bankrupted by having to pay huge license fees
to use previously cost-free tools, interfaces and algorithms, or
bankrupted by no longer access to the latter, you lose.  You're
not dead, but let's just say your lifestyle has not been changed
for the better.  Legal or not, this isn't right.
