There's a difference between gently pointing out to a volunteer that they 
are not complying with the terms of the licence and could they please fix 
it, and being an arrogant prick with said volunteer and acting like a 
scum-sucking bottom-feeding lawyer (as if there's any other sort).

Oddly enough, I find that I get better results from volunteers when I ask 
them to do something, instead of ordering them around like an arse-hat 
boss.
