Tonight on GeekNights, we discuss what really happens with source code leaks. In the news, troubleshooting audio can be moderately complex, you'll die without the new Apple watch, we were correct that Firefox Send is gone forever, there are problems with the 3080s, you should learn what a "founder's edition" of a video card actually is, and IFTTT goes pro.

If you write closed source software, you can mostly get away with violating free software licenses, no problem. Just take the source from some GPL program, even modify it if you need to, and who can prove you did it?
Unless there’s a source code leak.
If the GPL were perfectly enforced, Nintendo would be required to open source Dr. Mario 64 and all other games and software that they did this with.
