The problem with the hack is everyone trying to use the library professionally 
will (if one is lucky) ask about the binary attribution thing, and one would 
have to convince them that the hack takes care of it. This puts a never ending 
burden on the team.

If one is unlucky, they'll just avoid the library because of that license, and 
you'll never hear from them about the lost opportunity.

Those options are bad and worse, hence changing the license is a much more 
attractive proposition going forward.
