I saw the "100% viral license" and didn't connect the "free" after the parenthesis to mean *NO* viral license. Not "100% viral license" and "free" which is clearly not what he meant. So here I am bringing up the very thing I was complaining about constantly being brought up. In my defense, it is 4AMish my time.
