It appears to be necessary to make clarification for downstream message writers.
What I am saying is that I don't accept it as okay to package my messages for
your profit without royalty ("plan to charge" or "prohibit inclusion"). If
you're not packaging my messages, then I don't care whether you charge or not
because it no longer involves my work. Simple, yes?
