Behold the usefulness of the passive voice:

"They want it to be used" is a true statement.  "They want you to use it" is
not.
Or rather, the latter statement may or may not be true, depending on whether
"you" are a member of the two groups they have specified, viz. UCLA clients
and stratum 2 servers.

As for the first statement: yes, they do want it to be used.  On THEIR
terms.  Not yours.

As Bill Clinton might say, it all depends on what your definition of "you"
is.
