This is an excellent article discussing the use of re-linking to articles, with or without credit, with sometimes bad motives. I feel pretty guilty quoting it here, though because i don't make a dime from this site, I think he'll be cool with it.

Very well worth a read. It's long, but worth it.

The part that really made sense to me, when criticizing people who republish without understanding his reasons, in no way represents the article, but it's kind of the reason I'm linking to it:

If it matters (and it certainly may not), my goal and motivation is to wake up early every day, drink coffee, play with my daughter, kiss my beautiful wife, and then spend double-digit hours trying to create things that will make people happy, productive, entertained, inspired, and even a little more awesome – and, on those rarest and most joyful of days, maybe I’ll even make something that combines all of those qualities.
