COMMENT/Postamble: Reason for the specific restriction: Some publishers use [our] code without permission commercially, with [excessive] adware/spyware.
Together they can have more users than the original, since software is often not chosen well.
Thus we rationally/responsibly have to care. - Inspite of the tendency for smart behavior, to be superior on a long-term, as assumed by licences like GNU,
marketing / competition is not always fair in the present, as billions of users dont seem to review every software choice.
( And we can't imagine requiring them to ask first will hinder anything good)
