        You mean this:

        I did not force him to anything. Giving a binary to anyone is
        *his*
        decision, not mine. And all that the original license obliges
        him to
        do in that case is to give the sources the same person.

        'Convenient' is the key word here. Some people only think
        of what's 'convenient' to them, everything else is too much
        for their simple minds.

        A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
        It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
        and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
