There isn't an issue here. I am aware of no US case law suggesting that using an advertised public interface can cause third parties to be bound by a license agreement that they have not been informed of or accepted.[1] Furthermore, this is not a DFSG violation, even if there was concern about third parties being bound to license agreements. If there is a concern here, it's a privacy concern. Google's public statements regarding maintaining privacy and the need for working DNS to do most things on the internet should counterbalance this privacy concern for most users. 1: If you know of some, please provide specific citations. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
