    Ok, I’m old. When I started writing software, the licenses where not a big issue. I mean GPL & BSD existed and where important but most newbies wouldn’t think about publishing their shitty first steps and wouldn’t even understand how to use 3rd party libraries. There was no GitHub (I believe Sourceforge existed) and package managers where not very common. I mean Linux had them but Linux was quite a bit more difficult to run (installation, drivers, graphics etc).

    So software licenses where a topic but not at introduction level.
