Daniel could take a couple of seconds to ignore this email and there was very little time wasted.

So, in your opinion, sending spam or robocalls is not in the least bit disrespectful to whomever is on the receiving end?

Not in this context. This wasn't spam, this was a person with the information they had trying to close the loop on some information an engineer put into a a spreadsheet. This message was not "irrelevant" in the context that the person sending it had. This was not a robocall trying to extort money.

As I noted in another thread: A simple response pointing to the license should be the default response to requests like this which can be automated.
