I don't think that being an ass has anything to do with whether what you
are doing is legal or not. The RCMP can fine you for going 1 km over the
speed limit. That's legal without question. But it's generally considered
mean. I would consider that officer an ass, because there's a difference
between simply being a jerk, the legality of the action. In this case, we
have something has been done in a specific way for years. Then a company
buys the patent to this method and announces that they want money for
it. Sure that's legal, but it's also sleazy, IMO.
Since there's nothing we can do about it, we just have to use the
workaround and hope that Eolas goes belly up.
