I've given a specific case. Can you articulate why a "you must give
me your tax return if possible, and costs are paid" requirement is not
acceptible? You've said it isn't, but it clearly meets the DFSG.
So, now the question is: what principle would you invoke to explain
why that's not an acceptible condition?
I have explained what principle I would invoke... Have you?
