I see. Intellectual property rights are only valid when backed up by
force. Although I think an Icon Verifier is the single most boring
piece of software I've ever heard of, it's Nate's, which means that
Nate has the right to tell anyone where and when they can use it or
redistribute it. An "oh yeah? what're you gonna do about it?"
attitude with respect to software distribution is unenlightened at
best and ligigation-provoking at worst.
