Punish people for things they have no control over. You're a smart one.

You could look at the requests coming from your machine to see if it's directly querying the site or sending a query to the third party server to fetch the details.

My hunch would be it's a local request but it's easy enough to confirm.

I don't think they're saying it failed. They're saying that it will fail long before the body ever does.

I agree, I'm just answering the why question. Free software licenses don't have non-commercial clauses and they want an NC clause.

I presume the reason they didn't use GPL3 is because they wanted the attribution and non-commercial clauses offered by CC-BY-NC.

Not suggesting that they should not prefer to drop those clauses in favour of a copyleft free software licence. but you asked "why not" and losing those clauses is clearly an obvious candidate for why they might not want to.

There is a more performant C++ implementation but it's been a long while since I've used either it or the java implementation. Worth checking out.
