Speaking of the law, what would be your legal and/or ethical 'spin' on the 
proposition that someone would set up multiple Tor clients and sell access to 
them as a feature of a subscription "anonymity" service? This scenario 
assumes none of these "access points" are giving anything back to the Tor 
network. That clients' SSH connections are simply being piped through a local 
copy of Tor running in client mode.

I don't see where this would be "illegal" under the GPL or your own LICENSE, 
but maybe I'm missing something. I believe it's ethically abhorrent to use 
free software for profit like this, but I don't see any real recourse.

Thoughts?
