I didn't get that impression from the original message at all. It was very
polite. Some people in the open source / free software are *very* concerned
with correctness, and for good reason: we don't have a lot of money or
lawyers. It's important that was follow our own licenses correctly, because
we don't want their force to be weakened by widespread misuse. That's fair
enough. To that end, it'd be very nice if the SDL authors explicitly made
the "it's okay to just point to the web site" thing an addition to the
license.
