OP, I recommend switching to the LGPLv3. It ensures users remain in control over your part of the code while avoiding this type of reaction.

Not really, it would have maybe avoided the first paragraph. I actually really like copyleft, but I assume the social statement here is more important than the code, thus making it easier to rally around it should be the priority.

A CC0 copy-pastable snippet, plus maybe this helper library with a permissive licence. The only way this would go popular is through slacktivism, so you need to remove any friction.
