I didn't state anywhere that the license forbids contributing.

To cite you "The very idea that you think (that) suggests you didnt read clearly" :-)

The license just sets things up in a non-free way, and causes me (and I fear maybe others, too) to not want to contribute to the code. A simple issue that could easily be dealt with by the powers that be.

And trust me I did read the license. My intention is not to bash at this license. I just thought it may be worth pestering you, if someone would see how good free licensing (and I'm not picky here, like some people are - bsd, gpl, artistic, you name it) may be important to open source development. And actually perlmonks might benefit from it. I view it as a very nice feature. If you find a feature is missing from perlmonks in your opinion, you may speak up, don't you? Whether it gets implemented or not, is not as important to me as may seem right now. But if it's going to be anyway, which seems the case, I'd like it move up the ToDo List some places.

Sorry for being an annoyance.
