Wikipedia has a business relationship with a company that is indulging in some \
intellectual property-related evilness. Moreover, the actions of this company are \
inhibiting the creation of tools that facilitate access to Wikipedia. Both ethically \
and pragmatically, therefore, it is entirely reasonable to ask ourselves what our \
response should be (if anything). Maybe not listing their tool is an appropriate \
response -- who knows? It's worth at least thinking about for a minute. It's not \
WP:POINT.
