Well, personally, I would give great weight to what the author wants.
He/she did write all the code themselves and they chose the license.
They can just as easily change the license to prevent people from
doing that and not ticking them off would seem to be the prudent course
of action.

<refrain>
1. Creativity and innovation always builds on the past.
2. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it.
3. Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past.
4. Ours is less and less a free society.
