The OP and I have already agreed that this is true and that the gray area lies in how "obvious" a place that the author should post this information.

Actually, it is. Example. You are driving from point A to point B. There are no speed limit signs. A cop pulls you over for speeding. Are you going to have to pay the ticket? No. (This has happened to me lol.) And I didn't say anything about shoving things in people's faces, I only said that the emphasis on his request should reflect how important the request is to him.

And if it's too much trouble to take a look at a readme before redistributing it under your name, then shame on you.

The uploaders of compilations that are not filed under the suites category don't redistribute addons under their own name. I don't understand how that is a confusing concept for you.
