[nc-whois] FYI: Nominet UK in climb-down over WHOIS data

Nominet UK - the national registry for .uk domain names - has been forced into a U-turn over plans to publish personal details of UK domain name holders on its WHOIS database.

However, the climb-down is not universal and only applies to individuals whose Web site is used for personal, and not commercial use.

Existing domain name holders will be given the chance to opt out when it's time to renew their domains.
