A note to the "I'm seeing a lot of comments here" crowd, i.e. people saying "shame on you!" to commenters who point out that the author's expectations of how consumers should use his code are at variance with the license terms he released the code under: I'm seeing a lot of comments here that are attempting to brow beat or bully people for having a view you disagree with. "The author should have used a different license." This is an opinion, we can disagree about it. There's no need to tell people to be ashamed for disagreeing with you, or to make baseless ad hominem attacks such as 'I bet none of you have ever written anything substantial.' This is a discussion forum. FS/OSS licensing is an extremely contentious subject as everyone in the OS community probably already knows. People are going to disagree. Let's keep this a clean fight where we discuss the merits of different arguments and attack arguments rather than attacking people, shall we? Trying to "shame" people who disagree with you or talk about how "disappointed" you are in them or maligning their professional work is not argumentation, it's bullying. EDIT: while writing this comment, someone called me "autistic" in another sub-thread here. Gave me a chuckle... anyway add that to the ad-hom pile.
