I've sent them an email asking them to remove the IE thing or to add firefox beside them, And asking them to license my thing under the creative commns or the FDL.

Whatever I say I want people to copy,spread,reproduce it as they want. Their license is not allowing this.
Id they don't want to modify their license for what I'm going to say, Then I shouldn't bother.
Stallman himself refused to visit LUGs because they call themselves Linux not GNU/Linux user group when the GNU project needed support and so.

If they want to understand then I gave them pointers, If they want to understand they should follow it.
If they don't then they don't want to understand and I don't care about them.
