Does Roger Wilco contain spyware?

I seem to remember a great thread regarding spyware and flight sim related software that appeared here some time ago, but my searches haven't turned up anything. I'd really like to start using RW and get into the VATSIM environment, but they ask for some pretty personal information in the registration wizard. Does anyone know if this is something benign or something I should be concerned about? Also, I remember that someone mentioned RW as a user of "spyware" for ad placement, etc. Is there anyone who can confirm or refute? Elrond, perhaps? Thanks! -John
