It is stunning to see programmers who are used to formal,
rational thinking, becoming irrational. ;-) ;-)

The *combination* of someone else's work and yours is not your own
work! The resulting work is *not* the sole intellectual property
of either contributor.  You may have the right, though, to do
business with the resulting work without consulting this some
else, if his/her license says so. (E.g., one does not have
intellectual rights in Microsoft's runtime components even
though their license text says that one may distribute them
with an application.)

Respect the wishes of this someone else!

If someone is more generous than GPL etc. would imply, it is
their choice. They own the rights. And I think we are not to
discuss their generosity, or accuse them of the lack thereof,
if so perceived by us!
