Exactly. But what if I want to use my contribution (which is by itself might be useful) somewhere else? I am not talking about work as a whole (program _and_ my contribution), I am talking about my contribution _only_.

Say, I wrote a module for Pike, it gets into "official" distribution, and basically IDA's claim means that this modules is now _their_, not mine.

But by itself, I can use this module (or at least its parts) without distributing (or even using) Pike, and (say) place restrictions on it's distribution etc.
