It's not for you: it's for them. I don't work for them, but I've
certainly seen software projects where the investors, or business
partners, or middle management types in sales, wanted metrics on
downloads to point to and say "this many people grabbed the download,
and they followed up with this many actual sales". I'll hardly
begrudge them that, since they do seem to be contributing heavily to
the open source version's features and design. It's also so common, I
find it worthwhile to maintain a throwaway email account for just such
uses, and there are even some *fascinating* anti-spam tools that
generate and expire one-use email accounts you can consider using if
it's irksome enough in the long run.
