activity does not appear to be nefarious. GMPLIB appears to have limited
infrastructure that could not sustain the limited, yet simultaneous

Note that this abusive traffic is still ongoing, but it is subsiding as
I keep adding more and more Microsoft subnets to the firewall rules. I
have much better things to do than defend a public service web server
against corporate abuse!
What would you advise me to do, should I contact a US lawyer and have
them send a cease and desist letter?
I do believe that Miguel de Cervantes wrote about tilting at such
windmills in the early 1600's. Should you wish to be a wandering knight
protecting us from giant windmills then that is your choice. It is a
waste of time. Just block all the subnets as they appear and then forget
about them. Nothing else can be done with a 12 digit corporation. Been
there and done that and I have the tee-shirt.
