NO!!! In this case, you are not using bk, you are accessing information
that is placed in a public place. If your argument were to hold any
water, then people constrained from using bk due to any clause of the
bkl could not access any information on bkbits.net. The mere act of
pointing their browser there would be a violation. Since these people
are not able to agree to the bkl, they are not constrained by the
restrictions of the bkl. The only effect is that they can *never* use bk.
Either browsing bkbits.net is a use of bk and non-licensed people can't
use it, or it is is not a use of bk and none of the bkl restrictions
apply. Can't have it both ways.
