My dear sir, I cut-and-pasted the message.  I'm quite sure I reported
it correctly.

Perhaps the version you've got says that, but the one I've got - 2.8 -
says (in LYMessages_en.h)

#define UA_COPYRIGHT_WARNING \
 "WARNING: Misrepresentation of the User-Agent may be a copyright violation!"

and issues that message upon setting the user-agent to a string that's
not zero-length and contains neither "Lynx" nor "lynx".

> None.  That message, if it even exists, is wrong.

If it even exists?

Goodbye.
