They are all violating the spirit of the license, I have yet to see a
fineprint violator, whatever that may be.

To be completely honest, there are a bunch of things I'd rather see you
do.  I think that - while well-intentioned - this will just spread
valuable resources thinner than they already are.  We have the (sorry
excuse for a) bug tracker to maintain the state of violations.

This sounds like a duplication of effort and waste of time to me, sorry.
