FBI accused of violating MIT License in smart contracts! 🚨

- On October 10, X user @0xCygaar accused the FBI of using the OpenZeppelin library without clearly stating the source.

- If true, this is a violation of copyright law because the MIT License requires the original copyright to be clearly stated when using or modifying the source code.

- A check on Etherscan shows that the FBI's smart contract is labeled "Unlicensed", causing controversy in the community.

Legal and reputational consequences

- This violation may lead to legal action from OpenZeppelin, but litigation against the FBI is difficult due to "sovereign immunity".

- Public and government pressure may force the FBI to comply with copyright regulations.

Resolution possibility

- It is likely that the FBI will modify the smart contract to comply with the MIT License, avoiding legal and reputational troubles.
