No, not legal. You are still getting big benefits from Skimmer DECODING the cw:
only spotting stations calling cq, matching to the callsign database to reject
junk, etc.

To be legal, Skimmer would need to output a spot for each of the little
blinking dots. In other words, a frequency that is NOT determined in any way by
the CW decoding, just by the presence of a signal. Right now it won't do that.
