You have an idea, and it's a one-off/prototype, and you just want to see if it works, and you're excited, so you use a container that will be quick to set up, and then it does work, and you show it off … and you just violated copyright.
It's very easy to get swept up in the excitement of open source without really thinking about what that means. Almost everyone I know is a) quite young, b) new to open source, c) new to linux, or d) all three. Many of them don't think about copyright or licensing. And many don't realize all the ways that those apply.

So where I live, it's "totally likely to happen".
Thanks for being clear.
