First, I'm pretty sure you can't charge for someone repeating something that you said publicly, unless you made everyone here sign a contract prior to you ever posting anything. Second, are you going to charge Ken Thompson for writing grep if someone happens to grep a file that contains text written by you? Maybe you should also try to charge Microsoft, because I used their file search to search CCC archives once, and it surely searched a file containing something you wrote.
