The previous 141 posts in this thread have largely been discussing this very question. The majority opinion appears to be "technically yes, but nobody going to hassle you about it if you do.". Some people will tell you (but are unable to provide any evidence) that it's absolutely legal.
The truth of the matter is that this is a grey area of the law, and there have been no court cases to set a precident. Until there are, all anyone can do is to give you an opinion.
The practical answer is that if you keep it to yourself, who's going to know?
