Yep, I got that part, too. I think it is fair, the way he wrote it, or else
we'd see some more slashdot coverage when larger sites but up filtering
proxies. But however, I was afraid this might be against the DFSG, because it
restricts it's use. Therefore, I wanted to consult a broader audience to make
sure I wasn't violating the DFSG by putting this package in Debian.
OTOH, it is GPL, so, well, hmm, I dunno :(
