Is this Icy same/related to the Icey Defeat?

Thats why.
That is, of course, your prerogative. I like the security that authorizations offer. If I were a programmer and I was releasing high quality programs for use by a select few(i.e. Private, Retired, Advanced even), I would be concerned with leaking or with people using my program without permission. The easiest way to prevent leaking is to require a codex account to use the programs. If you want to distribute programs without authorizations, you're perfectly within your rights to do that. Its just a part of the approval process here.
Requiring codexchecks basically says programmers shouldn't have a choice. I released my Account generator source, so its clear the program doesn't mean too much to me, so why would I put an auth on the actual program?
It shouldn't be up to the admins to decide if the program should have an auth, it should be up to the programmer. I release my programs on multiple sites without auth, so theres no point of it being in my program here.
People agree with me, and the only argument is that a programmer wouldn't want it leaked, and in that case they add the authorization. In cases where they don't care, why force it?
