Well, we host an Atlas Anchor, which we paid for ourselves, so we can use
this for diagnosing problems in our network - and which we are happy to
see used by other folks to improve their networks.

I don't particularily care for *your* probe, for which you didn't pay 
anything...

Forcing all results to be public will result in Atlas not being used 
for things people will not want to see public, and *that* is quite likely
to result in people that are going to invest more into Atlas than "yeah,
give me a probe for free!" to, well, *not* invest.
