It's at least the second time that I see maintainers of "#opensource" be actively and strongly upset that people (as in other free/open source devs, not big corps) actually make use of the licensing terms that they gave to their software.
It's just baffling to me. Is it that people don't understand the implications of the licenses they choose? That they never actually believed in the freedoms they gave but just thought it sounded sexy somehow, wanting to have their cake and eat it too?
