It's not that simple - if you read the letter they are telling me I have to stop selling the software entirely.

Have you consider renaming your app to Tweetrobot , twtrbutler, tweeturk?

An interesting implication is buried in all of this. FACT: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Terms-of-Service states: "Please give us a nod in your app, perhaps by including one of these stylish "Powered by Twitter" badges", which I read as "If ya use the API you must acknowledge twitter." FACT: The letter from twitter's lawyers states: "stop all use of ... the TWITTER mark", which I read as "Ya can't use the word twitter in your application or on your website". IMPLICATION: No one can use the API !!! I guess we should all pack up and move on.
