Indeed, so let's assume because CodeMirror doesn't have a license like that, the authors don't "want their cake and eat it too", as the license is simply open source. Don't know where you get the whole "guilt tripping" stuff from, having a message that says "if you enjoy this, please donate" is guilt tripping...

- capableweb 6y agoYou seem to be a bit stuck on semantics. The meaning of "there is a social expectation that you" amounts to "please". Just as you go to the doctor and the doctor says "please have a seat", it means you're expected to sit down. The doctor could also have said "There is a social expectation that you sit down now", and you could also say/do "No, I'd like to stand", which would have been fine too.
