They've met a lot of resistance and not backed down yet; I seriously

GTK has been like that for years now. Check the
archives of SLASH'EM,
a Nethack clone, for lots of back and forth. In short, they're not
going to change.
Do they have a valid reason? Or are they just imposing their paranoia on us
for fun?
