[quote="PJ Allen"]Notes, terms of use, and so on, can be stripped out, ignored, whatever; that doesn't matter, the "strings" are stated and binding.  If someone cannot live with that, the best thing to do is to NOT download it.  It's really that easy, there's no reasonable argument. [/quote]

My 'unreasonable' argument;

Suppose someone does not have a problem with the strings, a person who would not intentionally go against the authors wishes - how will they know what the author's terms are if they are not included in the file? You are trusting people to use your code only for certain purposes, why not help them to remember what those purposes are by including it in the file?

Today, this week, maybe for the rest of the month they will remember where the code came from but what about next year? My memory is not good enough to keep track of where every code snippet came from.
