A temporal bug? I cannot confirm it.

How about "Please cite as" ? To my understanding, postcard-ware that demands sending a
postcard is "non-free", while postcard-ware that asks to send a postcard is DFSG
compatible. In that sense, the "Please" was intended indicate that the user of the
software is free to violate basic scientific principles by not citing, and that he is free
not to write anything about the work he/she is doing with that software.
