That does, however, create a precedence saying you felt you NEEDED such
permission. That makes me feel icky. ("icky", though a bit archaic, is

Business decisions come in a few categories, among them "short term" and
"long term". Mongoose is unlikely to be malicious, but legal
interactions treat heroes and villains the same, so you have to think
long-term about the situation you are creating.
