I enjoy following your thought process. I cannot make that fit with the content of the FAQ: "In other words: It is preferable having fewer users, who all know they should cite, over having many users, who do not know they should cite. If the goal had been to get more users, then the license would have been public domain. ... The citation notice is about (indirect) funding - nothing else." Does that fit with your assumption that "the GNU Parallel author(s) want/wants people to use and contribute to it"? |

I’m confused as to how “[not including citations] would not have been sustainable in the long term” unless either citations become money at some point or the author is motivated sufficiently by citations to the extent that they would otherwise not work on the project.
If you are an author or are involved in the project, please know that this isn’t intended to be an attack, I’m just interested as to why a project would do something that seems counterintuitive (at least from my point of view).
