I'd be really curious to know from a legal perspective what type of
exposure or ramifications this would introduce to any agency. Isn't this a
little discriminatory?

"The parts of the application which can be driven by a keyboard should
be, and those that cannot, should not cause the whole application to
fail is all I'm saying."

While it may be technically not possible to produce software that allows
a person with disabilities to use it, it should be noted that by taking
this stance and purchasing this type of software would mean that a
person with disabilities would not be hired to do a job that required
the use of this software. Effectively the announcement for the job would
be "people with disabilities need not apply".

Additionally if a person without disabilities developed a disability
while on the job, they would no longer be able to perform that job.
