[sdiy] Marketplace Question

[john slee]

I find it interesting that people are willing to get super angry and
enforcement-happy about one license (GNU GPL, for instance — see all the
enforcement claims related to Busybox being embedded in TVs and other
devices)

... yet when they find a license or a fee they don't like, such as
Bernie's, there is an unrepentant willingness to disregard it, start
arguments, wheedle and cajole, demand alternative options, ...

It's pretty fucking tiresome.
