If someone gives you conditions to which you don't agree, maybe don't use that lib?

Do you think you have some moral right to use the library and violate conditions to which you do not agree? Get another library or write your own.

If the conditions are nefarious you have a moral imperative to disobey. That's called civil disobedience.

Yes, if your very living conditions depend on it. Not if you do it just to increase your big payout by a little bit. Using one library over other is not an issue of maintaining your basic living needs.

This is your interpretation. Civil disobedience is just the non-violently breaking of immoral rules.

> to increase your big payout by a little bit

It's an opensource lib, it's used by corporations and hobbyist alike, so this another assumption you are smuggling in.
