So if I'm not mistaken, EF paid to get the information directly and legally, whereas KVS looks to have been getting their information i an indirect manner, and possibly for free. Well, for me my choice will be perfectly clear if I need to decide between which service to use.
I didn't suggest a lot of people using EF for free. I suggested that I would like to pay for an EF subscription, and use KVS as my user interface. Just like email services allow me to choose my mail client. But EF clearly won't allow anyone to choose their own UI. If they did, I expect they would pick up a lot of existing KVS subscribers.
Not thrilled by either of the available options at the moment.
