Do note that the above application and vetting is to allow access to
un-sanitised WHOIS data. That is, including all email addresses
unmasked (similar to command-line 'whois -B' output), as well as other
contact information. And this is entirely at hostmaster's discretion.

The reason for this being restricted is to prevent abuse of personal
data for spamming or other purposes.

However, a full dump of the database, with emails, phone numbers and
physical addresses censored is freely available. This cannot be used
for looking up and person's or organisations contacts (and so cannot
be abused in that way either). However for a bulk set of allocations
and their status, it's all there, and updated once every 24 hours.
