You aren't them. Why should I expect you to know what the VWA did?
In addition, why should LibGov grant you the same permissions on a whim?
Well, what the VWA did is public knowledge to the Bundschuh, considering the newsletters they did. You can ask Char or Jarl or Lunatic about it, they didn't say anything against it. The reason to give us the permission is simply to expand RP possibilities and trade regulations, Bundies have helped Liberty before and wish to continue informing Liberty about internal stuff in Rheinland, since the BDM and the LSF are in a cold war concerning information.
