What I mean is, time after time, I always see the same nonsense coming out of their keyboards. Namely, they say "don't make anything based on my work without my permission". Now, I can sort of understand that except for the cognitive dissonance. Their work IS a derivitive of someone else's work! It's worse than that, derivites do get made without their permission, and the ones who make THAT also demand the same thing, don't make anything from this without my permission.
Seriously, as long as they get the proper credit, why do they all seem to care this much? It's not like this is some isolated thing, every single hacked firmware programmer has this bizarre hypocritical code. What's up with that?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
