OK. First of all, I assume this would also apply if the postcard must be sent to the upstream author, and if sending the postcard was required for distribution, rather than use; would you agree? Furthermore, if sending the postcard was not required automatically, but only if the author asks for one, this would still apply, right? If so, then how is "if you distribute a work that links to mine, you must send me a postcard" a fee, but "if your work links to mine, you must send me your work" not a fee? - Josh Triplett
