There is of course an alternative that was not explored in this
discussion, or if it was, I missed it.

You can simply rewrite the programme as a community project. I don't

might be an opportunity to update the whole project and enlarge the
community of users at the same time.

That avoids the whole ethico-legal debate entirely.
