Aha! So my male-B-to-female-C is actually fine then because it doesn't make it easier to make A-to-A connections?

Also *how* forbidden is this really? It seems like A-to-A is pretty simple to obtain. (though then again I've seen something about male-to-male US power cords that you can apparently get easy enough and those *got to be* super illegal to manufacture so maybe simple-to-obtain means nothing)
