I actually find this copyright somewhat humerous. I have not seen the
software, it's sourcecode, or how it operates, but if the author was
so adament about keeping the recipients of filtered content informed,
why not make it an integral part of the program.

Trying to enforce EULA (a wonderful acronym given to us by the
Micro$oft monster), is laughable. ;-) Making it difficult to remove
end-user information is a much better solution. The people who
install the software would have to work to remove the 'info' code.
