Interesting point. I guess there are two schools of thought: 1) Delete it, knowing that anyone that wants it can get it. The behemoth lawyers are happy knowing that they killed the rebels, and we laugh at them because they didn't really kill anything except their own time and money.(*1) 2) Don't delete it, and defeat the lawyers in court. The end result is that everyone can get the module, and that this sort of thing doesn't happen again. I'm not really sure which school of thought I subscribe to. I will let the list decide :) (*1) Tangent 1: is is cheaper to pay a lawyer to send out C&Ds, or is it cheaper to pay a programmer to put a password / captcha on the data they don't want scraped? I would be (pleasantly) surprised if programmers are more expensive than lawyers... > PS: I kept a copy of Time::Cubic if you're interested :) <insert picture of a cat saying DO NOT WANT> :) Regards, Jonathan Rockway
