I'm aware of this. But they don't have information in their benefit,  
such as the person's full real name, or the simple fact of somebody  
looking out for it. It'd be exactly the same thing as sending an  
image from person to person, and we don't see any trouble with that.  
If you take the time to research how to send a good e-mail, it won't  
get caught by spam filters.

For example, when sending an HTML e-mail through the PHP mail()  
function, it'll usually be caught by filters. But start including  
headers such as "message-id", add a from address whose domain matches  
the message-id, and so on, and I can get a SpamAssasin score of 3.5  
down to 0.

So yes, Spam makes it more difficult to deliver these kinds of  
licenses but honest e-mails still work. If they didn't, we'd all be  
in big trouble.
