I learned the term "dead-listing" from Fravia's Pages of Reverse Engineering in the 90s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fravia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fravia]. I felt like such a hardcore hacker removing the nag screen from some bit of shareware! [edit: uh oh, might have fallen down the Fravia rabbit hole again. Here's a mention of dead-listing from '97! https://www.darkridge.com/~jpr5/mirror/fravia.org/siuL.htm https://www.darkridge.com/~jpr5/mirror/fravia.org/siuL.htm] [edit 2 - ha ha, the original link you posted the term "dead listing" hyperlinked... to Fravia!]
