That is a different issue. A server or network administrator I doubt
would object to being contacted for legitimate non-commercial security
issues.

Maybe not, but there are a few non-commercial-oriented applications
that this may be useful as.

contact details from the AUNIC database to email administrators.

Do you have a problem with this?
