I think you are confusing who said what.

Note that reading a web page is not definitive about licensing.  You
need to examine the source to be sure.

If you think there is a bug, please be specific about what should change
and your rationale.  (I'm not saying you are wrong, just that without a
clear explanation it is unlikely that someone will jump to do the work.)
