Thank you for an excellent summation, Jordan. More to the point, our
license not only allows this but actively encourages it. If you're upset
by this, perhaps some introspection is required. You may find that your
gut-level reaction of "Hey, they took something and aren't giving back"
is followed up by "Yeah, that's kind of the point," in which case you GET
it. If not, you may be in the wrong project, we're thankful for your
help so far, and wish you well.
