I think it's your attitude that's a bit odd.  You want a free software
project to use code generated from non-free software.  I don't like that
practically or ideologically.

Honestly, if I had understood from the beginning that you weren't
interested in sharing the generator code I would have suggested that you
not work on it for the DateTime project, for this exact reason.  I do
appreciate the work you've put in so far, and it'll still be useful in
writing a new generator, because doing it from scratch would be much
harder.
