As nobody has obtained 6bone space without agreeing to give it back, I 
really don't see an issue here.  Everyone that has 6bone space has 
agreed to the agreement.  It will be returned, it will be useless after 
6/6/2006.  No amount of screaming and kicking is going to change that 
and no amount of lawyers ;-)
