To take your analogy, it's like if a friend of yours loaned you his hammer and chisel for free to make a statue with, because you didn't have your own. And maybe he's like, "Hey, buddy, I'm happy to lend you my hammer and chisel, but if you make a great statue, tell people I helped you out, okay?"
I mean, if you don't want to, you could buy your own hammer and chisel. Maybe you think your buddy is a little weird that he wants you to tell people that you borrowed his hammer and chisel. You've got that choice. But it's kind of a jerky thing to do to instead take what he loaned you out of the kindness of his heart and then disrespect his wishes.
I think that's part of why people get so up in arms about it -- they feel like the DIKU team isn't asking for a lot for what they provided, and that it's a real slap in the face to not give them their tiny bit of due.
