Expanding jkl's quotation to highlight the crux of the complaint (emphasis added):

Quote: (...) Which licenses? A set of 11 pop­u­lar open-source licenses that all require attri­bu­tion of the author’s name and copy­right, includ­ing the MIT license, the GPL, and the Apache license. (These are enu­mer­ated in the appen­dix to the com­plaint.)

This is indeed good news. Many open-source authors have freely shared their code, asking nothing in return but recognition of their authorship. To deny them even that is despicable.
