I received e-mail from them that confirms that there is no license required
to verify or relay their mark. A license is only required to use the mark
as a sender.

hmmm, could'nt you check for the first few words of the haiku (should be
covered under fair use),
and as you know the length of the haiku generate a hash of the next length
of haiku characters,
the check if it matches the hash of the haiku? could be a way to get the
benefit without a licence.
might be too slow to generate the hashes though....

"A hidden scrap of copyrighted poetry embedded in e-mails will be used to
guarantee that any message containing the verse is spam free. And if
spammers dare to hijack the haiku, they will be aggressively sued for
copyright infringement.
The service is being offered by "Habeas," a new spam-filtering service
(http://www.habeas.com/) headed by anti-spam activist and attorney Anne P.
Mitchell."
This was discussed a bit on NANAE (news:news.admin.net-abuse.email) today,
and elsewhere. No one really knows if this is going to be successful; some
folks hope so, others are cynical. But it would be easy enough to support
if someone has a few minutes to code it, and doing so might create more
mindshare for James.
Anyone want to write the matcher for this thing? It would be very simple to
code. Just look for and match the headers listed in their FAQ, and here:
http://www.habeas.com/support/install.htm
It is free for use to individuals and ISPs, $0.01 (max $3000/month) to
legitimate commercial senders, and there is no charge to use it for
filtering.
Someone could also write a simple tagging mailet, but to actually use THAT,
people would have to fill out a license form (even for a free license).
