None of your statements contradicts points from my comment, my post, or the coding horror post. If you are releasing code and not putting in a license or doing so improperly, don't expect others to use it. CH focused on one facet (missing a license) while I focused on a different facet (how to add a license properly)

My point is that it does cut it. It's up to the licensee to include the license, not the copyright holder. There is nothing improper about specifying the license and not including it in its entirety. That's just your personal interpretation of it, that has nothing to do with copyright law.
