Gavin, I think you're misinterpreting the general mood of the thread
(at least on my part).  No one is agitated about this topic, except
perhaps you, and no one is trying to tell you what you should or
shouldn't do.  It's open source, you're volunteering, of course you
shouldn't do anything you don't feel comfortable doing.

I'm not surprised you didn't get a response when asking about
something like this.  The people on the front lines answering email
from random users won't find this sort of thing in their list of faq's
and won't be qualified to answer that sort of thing.  From a business
point of view, it makes sense to just drop a request like this.

All we're trying to express is that we think you're incorrectly
interpreting the license.  That's all.  What you do with that opinion
is up to you.
