No, an assessment of fact.

Ditto here. The problem is that some percentage of people who use
GPL-covered products will never read the GPL. Considering compiler use,
I'd estimate 99%.

Similarly, some percentage of people who have the TeXBook source
available in various directories will never read the warning saying
``unlike the TeX implementation, the TeXBook is not public domain.''
Considering TeX use, I'd estimate 99%.

My point was that these percentages are probably very close---and
probably both very close to 100%. In other words, these warnings aren't
noticed enough in the real world, and someone should figure out how to
make them more noticeable.

Now tell me: How does that qualify as petty sniping?
