A fair use policy, which you seem to be referring to [1], is pretty standard fare for many 'invididual user' products to exclude heavy-use groups. However, they could at least define expected and minimum capacity. They might omit

It's not about CO2 emissions, but rather the high-altitude NOx that contributes more to climate change than low-altitude emissions. However, it's debatable whether the amount is very significant, at least compared to other sources

Could you be a bit more specific in how the two companies and / or products are related, apart from the nameplay? I noticed that the then chief architect of Inmos also co-founded XMOS. There seems to be a pretty active forum here: htt

You can see this kind of behavior with many museums and cultural institutions. For example with the Van Gogh museum in The Netherlands. They warn you explicitly that you may not use images of Van Gogh paintings for commercial purposes or in

It is brilliant satire. See the apt use of Pied Piper, but more clearly the "But seriously, please take care" footnote. Unless of course it satirizes product satire, in which case it actually turns out to be a product.
