However, if I wish to use the program to access my shell account, and
then view my e-mail from there, and my platoon sergeant has sent me
military related information, then I am in violation of the license if I
read it.  I'd just as soon do without such a restriction.  That being
the case, I just stick with LiveWire, although it is apparently
abandoned.
