Announcing: The Zed Shaw Celebutante License

This is just petty. Zed made some reasonable arguments -- for acknowledgement and the release of modified code -- for his choice in licenses. I actually disagree with his choice, but it's his to make.

This is a dim attempt at humour — apparently based on some perceived arrogance. That particular perception is a form of hype in my opinion. Some folks seem driven to judge his words more critically because of all the blog-fights and threads on reddit/hacker-news, rather than addressing what is actually being argued.

I think that Zed is great (not that I know him personally), and find this little piece of satire to be hilarious as well. I don't see why the two positions have to be mutually exclusive... and I don't get the impression that it was actually written in anger.

Indeed. It was just intended to be some good natured ribbing and also an expression of admiration of Zed's viral marketing skills.
