Sorry dude, but if it's derived from USL sources, it does this,
unless they've specifically taken it out.  If so, then they are
probably paying a huge royalty increment for the priveledge,
since you pay more (by a factor of 10) for not being exactly their
sources for everything but drivers.

Seems kind of a petty reason to page huge royalties...
