It costs something other than money, though: it costs your freedom to do as you like with your code if you include even a line of their code. $150 sure sounds cheap by comparison. Just out of curiosity, when did AT&T start allowing people to freely redistribute their code if it's part of a derived work? At least, you're implying that I'm free to do what I want with my code if it includes AT&T's code, which generally includes redistribution.
