eh? there is a license called GPL. either you go with it or you don't.
licensing software under GPL *basically* says: "do whatever you want to
do, but you have to license the alterations under GPL then". point.

and that's what someone is gonna do, if he/she/it dislikes
a_feature/a_bug/too_much_credits_during_normal_use. and he/she/it will
provide the alterations under GPL.
have an extra file called "CREDITS" to make sure "your" programmers get
their credit.

i'm not a lawyer, nor a distro-engineer nor a ultra-fan of RMS but as an
end user i'll try to go with open-source and thus to have right to do
whatever i want to do with the software i use.

and yes, i *am* grateful to the whole ReiserFS Team. Really and this
mailing-list helps a lot. quick responses to random user-questions -
priceless compared to many other company's helpdesks. great fs, but
strange license.

Thank you,
Christian.
