The more I read this thread, the more curious I get.
First of all, I don't give a rat's ass about permissions. I agree wholeheartedly with the relation to Obama's birth certificate. He's running our country, and we haven't been completely destroyed yet, so why do we care about that? This modpack gives ample credit where the credit is due, they just do what it takes to make the mods work together. So why do we care about who has permission to do what? If the modpacks really didn't want us using it, they would tell us, and I'm sure the devs would take it out, albeit sadly. Then we'd have a tutorial on how to install it ourselves, and life would go on happily.
Second, everyone on the internet is a tough guy. They always want to be right, regardless if what they are right about it wrong. They will fight to the death to be right. I dunno, makes them all warm and fuzzy inside or something. Intelligent conversation/banter/discussion is one thing, but yelling and screaming without traces of evidence is a completely other matter.
