Yes you are right, however quoting the adage; explicit is better then implicit :-) To be honest, I find it rather strange that someone who likes to use your code is dictating you what to do, me being a contractor would reply with: Sure I'll do that for you, that is then X£ please, if you are not happy with that, you can FO ;-) Though there is some bragging rights if you can say that Google uses your code in one of their flagship products, so it is just up to you, nobody can make/force you. I would be interested though in what you decide to do.
