- collegeburner 4y agosame thing nintendo did on old consoles: the "DRM" was requiring the cartridge to display a nintendo logo at start-up. so if you included that, you could get sued. my guess is because it's "X-Elastic-Product" you'd be falsely "saying" your product is made by Elastic, the company so they could sue over it.
