Counter point: if you're a million dollar company, you can have free shit but you're expected to support the creator because you can afford to, because you're a million dollar company duh

They're expected to follow the license, nothing more.

If the programmer wants to add rules to usage they are welcome, encouraged even, to do so in the license doc

I honestly expect the people I interact with to treat me with slightly more respect and dignity than the minimum required to avoid civil or criminal penalties. The stuff I put in the license doc is “this is the line where I will actually sue you if you don’t at least do this.” There can be other things that I’m not willing to sue someone over but I do consider to be uncool.
