Slightly more generously, suppose that I add a small chunk of code
from a badgeware program into an existing GUI/web program. To do that
do I have to go through *every* screen to add the badge even though it
is only used in one place? If so, that's a pretty big disincentive
for using that code. A big enough one that in practice I'm going to
choose not to do it.
Cheers,
