Both directly and indirectly.  Directly because it introduces administrative
overhead and costs.  I believe we can charge to cover those costs, but the
time is still hard to replace.  But even given that I don't think it's
terribly onnerous, just annoying.  However the indirect problem is bigger.
The companies that financed us, being big old companies with large law
staffs, would never have stood for such a restriction on the source that
they got.  So the option is not an option.  In general, the bigger the
company the harder and more expensive this becomes.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
