This is an interesting angle I hadn't considered. Company A gets sued because they do not comply with the license terms of a nupkg and since requireLicenseAcceptance was set Company A sues Microsoft for not surfacing the license terms as per the documentation.

Why had no one started a class action against Microsoft for their failure to respect requireLicenseAcceptance in nuget? Companies offering commercial software on nuget should have a legitimate case #dotnet

There was a time when Microsoft respected that sort of risk. Probably more fun to be a dev there these days and generally ignore legal concerns. :)

That's interesting. Do other platforms not require acceptance? I see the window every time I update packages in Visual Studio. I have to accept. Not that I actually read them, of course.

AFAIK, Other platforms don't have anything like it. VS respects it but none of the command line options do. I opened issues on that and they all got duped to an issue open for many years. I can see why MSFT legal would want the flag. I'm surprised .NET is allowed to ignore it.
