says that the software developer's license prohibits many
location-based services.  Here is the relevant quote from the license:



                "Applications may not be designed or marketed for
real-time route guidance; automatic or autonomous control of vehicles,
aircraft, or other mechanical devices; dispatch or fleet management; or
emergency or life-saving purposes,"



Does this mean that applications that display emergency warnings are
prohibited on the device?  Many fields in the CAP protocol were
developed specifically to support location-based communications.
