If something like this is driven by lawyers, that's ridiculous: they advise, not prescribe.They are tools, not the brain manipulating the tool.
Investors .. maybe. But, why would investors be so myopic? Or rather, do such myopic investors have enough control to push this?
To me it sounds like linkedin leadership saw how much they were making from recruitment and decided to open up the sales side of the business too. And, instead of competing for sales data enrichment, they decided to make it a one-player game.
Whatever. Time to buy linkedin stock, and set a reminder to sell in 1-2 years.

I suspect these changes are prompted by lawyers and/or investors, more than engineering.
Huh. Is there some specific reason you think so?
