Hi, DNS BE doesn't allow you to do any kind of domain warehousing. Any customer who does such a thing, will have to pay the full DNS BE pricing (which costs 6EUR for the registrar). The registrar is allowed to register 10 domains for himself during the 'free' period.
I'm not sure about the Tucows API, but if you're trying to find out if a .be domain is available, don't use WHOIS. DNS BE has a nice system called DAS (Domain Availability System). More details can be found : http://www.dns.be/en/home.php?n=317 You can query DAS as many times as you like (well, don't go over 50 times per second or they will block it, but as long as you stay reasonable...)
