I agree with everything you said. But this isn't what's happening in this thread. In this thread, a random, semi-anonymous person saw that someone was offering their work for free and asking for donations, and planted their feet firmly in the ground and let everyone know that they refuse to donate unless the code is licensed in exactly the way they like.

I don't know that there is a clear distinction.

"If you do X, then I'll do Y."

"I absolutely refuse to do Y, unless you do X exactly the way I want it done."

The above two are making essentially the same statement. The difference is one of attitude. And the attitude behind a short online text message, is something very easy to misinterpret -- or so recent history suggests, IMHO.

When you say I'm semi-anonymous, I assume you didn't bother to even click on the profile link. There you'll find more than enough to send me a pizza, if you are so inclined. I do not hide and I am very public about my opinions.

In fact, I think this project, being closed, is a disservice to the craft of software creation. It's great work and, yet, all we can see is its results rendered on a screen. It's also limited to a single operating system and CPU architecture. Opening it up would enrich other groups and allow it to be enriched by them.

I place no unreasonable condition on my donation. In fact, it's my donation and no legally allowed condition should be deemed unreasonable.

TIL that Dominos delivers in Brazil.

Question: How common is it? I.e., do huge numbers of people in Brazil order delivery pizzas, or is it more of a niche thing?
