Clark, folks like you and Chris seem like really nice guys. I'd be
much more tempted to contact you and show extra deference to people who
contribute a lot of OGC and who are very giving folks in general as compared to
the people who are less friendly.
I'm a Southerner, so I think kindness should beget more kindness. I'm
just jaded about the process given that so often people don't even respond to
requests for clarification on their OGC/PI designation.
It just sort of makes me feel like people tell you that they want you to
use stuff more often than they actually want you to use it. And that bugs
me.
I think if more people were more eager to discuss their products, and were
less fearful about giving clarifications, and were a bit easier to find on the
web, then I'd be more eager to put in the time calling and emailing for
permission.
Be a nice guy (or gal). Be easy to find. More people will
probably ask you and cover your butt in case you were about to release your 2nd
printing of some product and need some time to make some profit.
