This is a tricky case indeed and I can see both sides of this. I lean towards keeping it though, for the following reasons: - It is somewhat relevant to the package: it's useful to know that one can instead use a hosted version of the software, which by the way is free for up to 5 domains, without going through the trouble of setting it up. - If one has more domains than that, they can either switch to certspotter, or they can pay for the commercial service, and in doing so, pay the bills for the author of this software. The author essentially open-sourced the software that powers his small business, and I see nothing wrong with him profiting from it. - It is part of the original description of the author. Me explicitly going against their wishes and removing that harmless sentence could be seen as offensive and antagonizing them. At worst, this is "irrelevant" as you put it, but it's just an extra sentence. At best, it's somewhat helpful to users, and potentially helpful to us maintaining a good relationship with our upstream and them profiting a tiny bit from producing free software. Regards, Faidon
