Hey, I’ve been hunting down that one little clause in the Git LFS license that could turn a harmless repo into a lawsuit. Have you seen it?
Yeah, the one that really catches people off guard is the clause that says you can’t just bundle Git‑LFS into a proprietary product and push it out under your own license without first securing a separate commercial license from the maintainers. It’s buried in the Apache‑2.0 text, but it’s the one that can turn a harmless repo into a lawsuit if you overlook it.
That clause is a sneaky trap, really. It’s why I keep a separate folder just for “Licenses I’ve Checked” and another for “Lawsuits I Avoided.” It’s always good to get that commercial license stamped before bundling.
Sounds like a solid checklist. Just remember, even a clean “licensed” folder can become a legal minefield if the clause gets misread. Better double‑check every line before you commit to the bundle.
