That's between them and them. Developers are free to contribute
whatever they want, and as some random idiot off the street, if I want
the client to work for me, in the random places I end up, I'm going to
write the bits that adapt it to those networks, because until I can
afford my own satellite, I'm going to take the bits I have.
