I don't follow that. "Should" stands for a moral imperative, but I don't
see where the imperative would come from here. Perhaps you're basing
the conclusion on reasons I don't know about.

I am completely lost here. What legal responsibility is involved?
I've asked for someone to please tell me, in brief terms, the concrete
reqwuirements for issuing an app key to something like GNUS, but I have not
seen a reply stating them.
People have sent me URLs pointing at what I suspect are long texts,
some of which might answer this question. The obvious way for me to
find out those answers is to go read those. Obvious, but not
feasible. I am totally overloaded, and (unusually) I even have
deadlines. I can't do that the inefficient way.
