*I* read Bob's message, although you seem not to have.  One of his
justifications was that the software would not be distributed because
of the enforced advertising requirement, and that the user would,
paradoxically, get less recognition through his (or rather, his
school's) efforts.

I do not insist that other people's children call me Mr. Nelson, nor
do I insist that my children call other people Mr. this or Mrs. that.
Respect is earned, not granted.  Nor is it achieved through advertising.
