My objection to doing this is that while it will help some users, it also 
in sense legitimizes the whole license checking scheme, and I'd rather we 
didn't help do that.

If we had a non-flamey FAQ describing the issue, then putting a URL to it 
in the license field instead would make me happier. I'm not volunteering to 
provide such a thing, however.
