so what?
developers have the choice.. you cannot act like "GOD" and tell people
how they should or should not license their software. accept it. if you
dont trust a developer, write the code yourself and let everyone else
know "how you did it".

so, use it if you wish. people that dont use it, should not be given
a load of crap about the reasoning etc. in a perfect world, we all
would agree on something - but, this world aint perfect.
