I would say this is what the server is there for: provide tiles for
people to look at.  Whether they look at them via openstreetmap.org,
informationfreeway.org, freemap.org or any other site should not
matter.

Of course, if your users bog down our server we need to talk
again. ;-)

Spaetz has the hat on for the T at H server, BTW.
