We had a discussion on that some years ago here. Paul Nasca has removed
this exception from his zynadd-site. It also was nothing but a statement
on the website, not a part of the licensing. In a license-text you do
not say "please do/not" but "you do/not HAVE to".

So such requests are perfectly OK for me - if I cannot/do not want to
apply, I do not apply(whithout breaking the real license-terms).
