I will respect your rules but I think they need modifying

Just because i dont charge for any modifications I write doesnt mean you should be allowed to copy and re-distribute them whenever you feel like it.

If any coder wants to do that then they can mark their mod as Re-Usable, otherwise you need their permission. Thats the law, whether you like it or not.
