We would want to write the code we release so that it would not try to use the dis-service. Since Emacs is free, users could change the code so it would talk to the LanguageTool dis-service. We have no say over that. But we would never release or recommend that code. This being so, I think we don't need to worry about whether the dis-service sends advertisements to users of software that talks to it. Our software will not talk to it anyway. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
