1. First, we *are* trying to block Ilias from Bugzilla and the
newsgroups. [...] So Ilias is correct in saying that we are (so far

Using data to identify my person or my ISP-region to block my access (or

http-gateway) results in a

DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE ECLIPSE FOUNDATIONS PRIVACY POLICY

Excerpt from the "Eclipse Foundation Privacy Policy"
"
Clickstream Data and Cookies

We sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to this Web site to
help provide better service. For example, We keep track of the domains
from which people visit and We also measure visitor activity on
Eclipse.org, but in ways that keep the information anonymous. This
anonymous information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." We may
use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us tailor the
Web site to better serve Eclipse participants.

Also, when personal data is collected from you in connection with a
transaction (such as contribution of code or posting to newsgroups) We
may extract some information about that transaction in an anonymous
format and combine it with other anonymous information such as
clickstream data.
This anonymous information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate
level to help Us understand trends and patterns.
