I admit, I'm in this camp where my gut reaction is fairly negative. Truthfully, I'm trying to sit on this info a bit and come to terms with how I feel with it (with respect to a personal strategy), because my reaction was pretty visceral. I mean, it's okay, it's not disallowed by most licenses, but if I wanted could I do this and feel okay about it?
There's a wide spectrum between doing work and fighting to get it included and doing work and actively keeping it limited to a few individuals. At a minimum, just throwing what you have out to the public and saying "here, do what you may with this, it worked for me but I wash my hands of it if you want help" seems a sane middle ground to explore.
