a) when I added it, this was not specified by spamcop.net, and it seemed
that use of the BL was probably going to require payment.

b) nowadays, there's quite a lot of worry being expressed about false
positives from over-zealous spamcop users nominating non-spam.  We're
already talking about zeroing out SPEWS, and Spamcop is #2 (as far as I
can tell) in terms of blacklists with reported FPs.  So I wouldn't be
too keen on enabling spamcop by default due to this.

It's a shame, because it's quite often very useful.  But FPs are worse
than missed spam, by a long shot, for most users.
