Hey everyone, new to the license compliance side of things. I was running a FOSSA scan on my project and it flagged a dependency as "High Risk" due to 'copyleft'.
I get that some licenses are more restrictive, but can someone explain like I'm five why copyleft is high-risk in FOSSA's eyes? My dashboard just turned red 😅
Is it mainly about the requirement to open-source my own code if I distribute it? Trying to understand the practical danger for a cloud service.
