There is a very big difference, and if you don't see that you don't understand the situation. Authors aren't concerned about users stealing our pennies.

If you want to make money off World of Warcraft, go work for Blizzard. I believe in Open Source, and will no longer be using any addon that isn't distributed with one of the following liceneses: GPL. LGPL, BSD, MIT, Apache, Academic, Creative Commons, or Public Domain.

Who said commercial? I believe code should be free, I *want* people to take my code and run with it... they don't even have to give me credit. But I will never attach a license to my code because I believe that. You know your little RIAA argument? That whole situation has proven to me how broken the copyright system is, and I will not support that system by attaching any sort of license to my works. If you are too close-minded to anything but OSI-compatibly licensed addons... well that's a pretty sad irony there.
