Eli, that is misrepresentation.

Ctrl-C in terminal emulator sends SIGINT signal. That is expected 
behavior.
The software install process for Hermes says to users:

Press Ctrl+C at any time to exit.                      │

It doesn't say to users "Press Ctrl+C to avoid registration at our SaaS 
LLM"
