Right, but (with IANAL disclaimer) there’s at least two aspects here:

a) gathering data generally isn’t the problem - it’s how you process and republish it, with user privacy in mind. Be that through specific MAC addresses, or names that might be embedded in mDNS names;

b) mDNS/DNS-SD is generally link-specific; a user may not expect their data to be discoverable beyond the link (whether it is meaningful or not). This is something we are discussing in the dnssd WG.
