I can get upset if I want. I can be flattered if I want. I can be both at
the same time if I want. I can do so for any reason or no reason at all if I
want.
What I won't do (and what James won't do) is *do* anything about it, other
than perhaps present an economic analysis of why it may or may not be cost
effective (but then, when is anything we do about our hobby actually
rational from a purely economic point of view unless you assign a monetary
value to happiness) to copy our work in some cases.
I reiterate, I don't see any disagreement here. Everyone agrees on what's
reasonable and what isn't.
