> Come on, cURL'ing to a foreign server to get a random number and not just reading /dev/urandom is logically identical. It's a hack, just like calling into GPL'ed code over HTTP is a hack to avoid "linking" the GPL'ed code. It doesn't really suddenly turn a site from gambling site into a non-gambling site. Around here (and probably elsewhere) bars aren't allowed to make wine stronger by adding spirit. So if you mix a drink from wine (or similar) and spirit in that order you might lose your license. Put the spirit in the glass first and all is ok. I guess at this point it is just a shibboleth that inspectors use to see if the bar has read the rules at all, kind of like the no brown m&ms. Point is though: rules matter, you can lose your license over it.
