Excuse me to insist but I really feel that calling it is tainting it  
as sin while it really is just a usual form of linking and it should  
be clear to be a normal right except on "evil sites". I feel that  
naming it such, from an authority such as the TAG, does justify policy- 
makers to write such conditions-of-use.

The royal-mail story in this thread really is just one such example,  
several "académies" (local-school-boards) in France simply zapped all  
the resources they hosted on their website for fear of breaking such  
rules (no URL to give away yet).
