@drewdevault@fosstodon.org I think I can save you a step here, we did a research paper on this a few years ago.
"Do Software Developers Understand Open Source Licenses?"
https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~murphy/papers/licensing/software-licensing.pdf
To my chagrin my co-authors overruled me, but in my first draft the abstract was just:
"Nope."
@mhoye @drewdevault There's something worse than software devs not understanding software licenses. That is software devs **thinking** they understand software licenses.
