However, you're very right about the frustration.  I think the average user
just ignores it and copies things without worrying about the legalities.
However, the whole point of Open Source was to have licenses that gave
certain freedoms that would allow you to safely reuse works.  Out of
respect, if someone goes to the trouble to release code with an Open Source
license, it's nice to at least attempt to comply with the conditions of the
license if one can figure out what those are.
