Moreover, the actions of this company are inhibiting the creation of tools that facilitate access to Wikipedia. Both ethically and pragmatically, therefore, it is entirely reasonable to ask ourselves what our response should be (if anything). Maybe not listing their tool is an appropriate response -- who knows? It's worth at least thinking about for a minute. It's not WP:POINT.

Given that Wikipedia recently named Answers.com an official partner
(or whatever it was), taking the attitude "answers.com is evil, let's
having nothing to do with them" probably isn't going to wash.
