Today's addition of a page of fine print to the bottom of every whois
query would seem to be a waste of bandwidth.  Why not use a one-liner
stating something like "Use of and access to this data is goverened by
the Tucows Whois Access Policy at http://resellers.tucows.com/twap ?

I understand this policy is a good one, and it would appear to give
OpenSRS the opportunity to take legal action against other registrars
who solicit future registrations from RSPs' customers, but is it really
necessary spew the entire text for each query?  Is there some legal
reason why an http reference might not be as binding?
