Yeah, agreed with you feeling, but I searched today the policy and
social contract etc etc, and I didn't find any regulation concerning it.
I mean, the UID sent is the one of the calibre installation, not the
device or anything else, it is purely an accumulation of how many
installations of calibre there are, and on which OS.
