compatibility and the OSD

You know, in the extremely unlikely event that anyone ever _uses_ AAL
and creates an executable that produces no output (embedded system, etc.), 
I'll bet just running it such that it would have produced a splash
screen if there _had_ been an output screen would suffice to avoid the
Wrath of Judge.

Is this really worth spending time on?  Or can we just all agree that
it's an obnoxious, non-starter licence and move on?
