It's about convenience for the user, not legal reasons. Of course we
don't want to upset Apple's lawyers, but they're presumably OK with the
"accepted for everyone" feature that Apple provided in the first place.

My point in comparing our approach to it before was simply that what we
do seems less potentially problematic than what Apple already allows,
and should therefore be fine.
