While it is probably true that no permission
MUST be obtained to reference the tools on
the FEX, it is always nice to tell the author of
your plans. If you have found a tool to be of
use, the author will surely be happy to hear
of it. I know that I always appreciate a note.

As far a a citation goes, we tried to resolve
that issue here:
