Log message: We're not responsible for people subscribing to Google's ToS
I don't entirely agree. While it is true that we are not responsible for people subscribing to Google's terms of service, I think it is irresponsible at best to distribute a tool whose use violates those terms, particularly without any suggestion that it might be doing so, or any reference to those terms at all. If someone is providing you a service that you find useful, you do not thank them by doing things with it that they explicitly ask you not to do. Play nice. Google has an API -- I know you don't like it, but it's their service, it's their right to call the shots. As long as twisted.web.google does not use the Google API, I would prefer to see it removed from the core Twisted distribution. Feel free to distribute it elsewhere, but with your name on it, not Twisted's. Sincerely, - Kevin -- The moon is first quarter, 63.0% illuminated, 8.6 days old.
