According to WhatsApp, yowsup violates their legal terms. I also received a cease and desist. |

Hi Tarek,
Your github and repositories are awesome. I am very glad to find such a passionate person over the network. For about a couple of years i am investigating the possibilities to utilize whatsapp service to write custom applications. I have been successful a couple of times. I have written some scripts for reminder applications by utilizing your yowsup repository for my whatsapp registration and https://github.com/WHAnonymous/Chat-API for sending messages.
But now I have a concern relating to License violation to Whatsapp legal terms , As WHAnonymous received a notice from Whatsapp lawyers for ceasing the operations as they found it violating their terms.
(http://www.docdroid.net/gWpFsXz/whatsapps-cease-and-desist-and-demand-against-chat-api.pdf.html)
I am planning to add a notification service to members of a website through whats app , for which i am planning to use your masterpiece (yowsup).
So I would like to confirm that your repository and it's utilization wouldn't violate whatsapp legal terms in any way.
I Kindly request you to take some time from your busy schedule to respond to my query , because i don't want any violation notices from whatsapp in future.
Advance thanks.
