Please re-consider your position on that.
The mapnik tile policy might be questionable to some extent,
nevertheless it still makes sense and does not put inacceptable
burdens onto those who want to benefit from that service.
You've stated that you do deliberately violate that policy. This
will just end up in places where no one wants to be: The tile server
administrators might tighten their filters again, likely without
prior notice, breaking this program another time. But the negative
feedback will hit QLGT, anything between "It just doesn't work" and
"They had it coming".
Additionally, I cannot follow your privacy argument. The major
privacy breach is any tile server administrator can see which tiles
are fetched from a certain IP address, but that's inevitable. Making
the application used visible is rather minor in comparison.
And as long as QLGT connects to www.qlandkarte.org during each
application start, tile usage privacy isn't any of my major concerns.
