This is a severe failing and omission, resulting in an illegal breach of 
copyright.

Do contact the copyright holders and authors and do work out an agreement.

Do you always resort to name-calling when you don't have an explanation?

I would know some names that I'd like to call people who take 
copyrighted and licensed code, place it under their copyright, then 
offend people asking for an explanation.

I asked you in a very calm, unpersonal, and objective way, and you 
replied with no explanation and three offenses.

I do not see you respecting the original authors and copyright holders 
in any way.
