Agreed, but it might make senses to instead state something like "The protocol 
SHOULD NOT be responsible for preventing unauthorized redistribution of ALTO 
information by ALTO Clients."

I would think its possible for a provider to have some legal agreements 
covering redistribution of the ALTO information, but it would be outside of 
the scope of the protocol.
