The license for this is pretty hilarious and it's something you should pretty obviously never accept or use under any circumstances.

Dang, you're right. I was planning to use this to help out with my minor trafficking ring, too! Dadgummit!

Yes, it goes beyond even just extensive usage restrictions and restricts _who_ can use it. https://jamesturk.github.io/scrapeghost/LICENSE/#3

It seems, for example, that (by 3.1.12) if you are a person who is involved in the mining of minerals (of any sort), that you are not allowed to use this library, even if you're not using the library for any mining-related purpose.

Am I an "extractive industries" "affiliate" if I just fueled my hatchback up with fresh tank of gasoline?
