Absolutely agree - it is up to them if they want to license things this way.
I guess I just don't understand their motivation.

:)  Hey, it's not as if we're into flame war on the subject.  I just have a
tendancy to want to discuss these things.  I've said it before and I'll say
it again - I actively court people to give me their opinions and discuss
things.  I want someone to change my mind, or maybe visa versa, or mayeb
we'll both walk away assured of our own position.  I see this as just one
aspect of community - some people come here to get help setting a Samba
server, or whatever, I come here to talk about the issues and technology.  I
do tend to be a fundementalist and an idealist sometimes, over times I'm
just cynical.  I hope I do not cause anyone offence (or clutter your inboxes
with too much crap), but it's rare to have an audience of so many
intellegent people to bounce ideas off.
