I just want to point out that what ever decision you make on Razor, will set a 
precedent which you must (in fairness) follow in the future for any equivalent 
or better performing services which have a similar license and no other 
mitigating issues.

I see many rationalizations for keeping Razor ON by default (using various 
means to justify it), which all seem to motivate from a desire not to lose 
functionality or to hurt users.  I think that is great, just be prepared for 
the outside world to look at that as a precedent of a way to piggyback on 
SpamAssassin to develop centralized reporting databases for commercial products 
(e.g. CloudMark).

One thing I respect is people who can live by their own creed or religion.  One 
thing I find pitiful are people who are hippocrits.  More wars have started due 
to religion, and I see that same attitude in open source religion.  People 
start to confuse their religion with a crusade and feel the need to attack 
someone who is honest about their ideas.  A religion should be a personal thing 
and a way to breed happiness and good and amicable understandings.

In my view, Daniel is the only person in this thread defending his open source 
creed with consistency.  He apparently does not feel that services that 
restrict use and have financial liability, should be included and promoted by 
default in open source.  Others here want it both ways (which by definition 
will be an arbritary result).
