And not "pushing" it works two ways, don't abuse their leniency, either.

And finally...Mac...I disagree with your "don't push it" advice. This is a matter that SHOULD be "pushed" since the BIAB user community should not be expected or required to keep this all hush hush and somehow operate in stealth mode hoping not to get their chops busted if PG ever decided to make an example of someone who they find to be in violation of the license terms.


I see both points here, but I side with Mac.

This is one of those cases in which the person with all the rights has shown a willingness to allow some reasonable flexibility. It has been my experience that whenever a clarification is forced in situations like this, the forced conclusion is always the stricter of the two interpretations.

This is because to do otherwise limits their control of what they own, and nobody is going to do that.

Its like if you owned property, and a neighbor asks if he can drive across part of it as a shortcut to his hunting camp. Whereas the property owner MIGHT privately allow a few people to do so, it would be foolish for him to relinquish control by designating it a right-of-way to the general public.

If the hunters forced the issue, the end result is that they would lose the very thing they wanted to get written in stone.

Be careful what you ask for.. you might get it.
