I hope this matter can be resolved amicably in a timely manner. Thanks.

You put it up for free; if you expected this not to happen, you're as naive as Microsoft.

If you don't let people include it with compilations, no-one will know about your mod. Or it'll go the way of DHUD where the author threw a tantrum and refused to update so other people rewrote it from scratch.
