Ugh. So they get their User-Agent shut down, so they push a software 
update to use the User-Agent the legal people are using, getting that 
one shut down, and we all get shoved into an upgrade race. Yicka.

There are plenty of lawyers doing things that hurt this project, I'd 
think this would the time one could be used to help the project, and go 
after those that are violating the terms of the agreement.
