No, broadcasting is EXACTLY what the rtl-sdr.com article lists as the satellite's intended mission.
There are already more than enough smallsats that are using amateur frequencies for questionable missions...
Considering all the threats to our spectrum, we can ill afford to allow it to be used for such frivolity.

Guess you all missed the key word, "broadcasting"...
Call it beacon. Perhaps a beacon more "useful" to amateur radio operators than some university bird beaconing a 9K6 GMSK stream of unknown format in the ham bands.
