  on Can We Count The Ways In Which Lowe's 'License Agreement' For Linking To Its Site Is Insane?

  Imagine if this policy had a real-world counterpart. I can picture a conversation going something like this:
  
  "Hey, is there a Lowe's around here?"
  "Yes. But legally, I can't tell you how to get there without signing a license agreement with Lowe's."
  "Uh... OK. How about a Home Depot?"
  "Sure! Turn right on Main Street, go 3 blocks, and it's on the left."
