I think both NATS and MPA3 should get away from this concept that their license is wrapped around the integrity of the data it deals with.
They're just independant software developers delivering a product that could or could not be misused, like EVERY OTHER PIECE OF SOFTWARE ON THE PLANET!
The question of integrity should rely with the affiliate program, and trust should be placed by affiliates based on that, not based on the software they're using.
Using sales integrety as a tool to promote your software is a HUUUUUUUGE mistake in the long-term IMHO. It will lead to nothing but litigation, and EVENTUALLY odds are someone will win, and the software company will be fucked.
Again, Oracle doesn't audit banks to make sure data going into databases that they designed is accurate, nor should they. No one blamed Oracle when Enron turned out to be a cluster fuck of accounting muck? Oracle just provides a tool, and pays no attention to how it's used, LIKE A SOFTWARE COMPANY SHOULD.
Just my 2cents.
