I'd imagine the line "anyone who uses our lists or our data either directly from us or indirectly through a third party grants us a license for us to use your data from any lists that you might publish either directly or indirectly." needs dropping if you're even halfway serious. Demanding access to data in a default install option seems a tad excessive and unenforceable. I know that through various simple aspects of running a mail filter I can't ensure I'd be able to grant you access to all the data I indirectly contribute to lists. Even if you exempted me from such indirect contributions I'd assume the vast majority of the local data I could provide would be completely worthless to anyone but myself, and I doubt the overhead of my telling you that I have X.X.X.X whitelisted because I know someone behind that address would be worth it to access your blacklists. I'd also note that the wording of that line allows for future access to any lists I may be involved in, which would mean I'd have to make sure any future potential employers realised I'd signed away access to any lists they might run. Oh, and you seriously need a lawyer to look over your "fees" for small businesses. If I ever did feel the need for your data in a small business environment I assure you that the current wording is in such a way that I can stick to the letter of the license and still *really* avoid the junk you're after.
