I can understand your point here, although I would feel as though refusal to permit the commercial use is mistreatment- even the negotiation, where the negotiator is much larger than the blog/distro distributor, seems unfair to me. That said, I fully agree with you that the original author has a right to some form of payment where it is clear the user has the capacity to provide it. My concern largely lies with cases where the rights-holder has the capacity to prevent delivery of a useful service, simply because that service is not paid for entirely by the provider.
