Indeed. But, all this shit only matters if the people whose libraries you
link to care. Breaking a license only means the original author can sue you.
If the original author says it's OK, you are in violation but with no
worries. Nobody ELSE can sue you but the original author. So, if the authors
of the included files don't care, then all this is wasted talk.
