I release my stuff BY-SA and GPL. I don't want you to ask about that stuff.
Send me a link to what you have done if you like. I do like being surprised
at how different things people do can be to what I had originally conceived.
Plus, permssion does not scale. It is monopoly firendly, not Freedom friendly
in a netwroked world.

to make people ask you permission after you publicly released something.
When I release a tune or a story or an invention, I do not aim to become
a tyrant, who, by virtue of his work now has the world grant him a
positive obligation.
The common decency you speak about is not common to me. To me making
people asking permission is being a jerk.
You are reading in language which was never used to argue against a case
that was not made. He didn't claim that it was right to "make" people ask,
he just said that asking was the decent thing to do, something with which I
fully agree. The same technologies that make copying infinitely more easy
also make communication infinitely more easy, so I don't see why its an
invasion of liberty to seek permission for appropriation whenever possible.
