In my opinion, any software that is basically a database that displays information about previous hands you have played with a player is ethical. I don't care how that info is manipulated, as long as all it does is show stats gleaned from that info. This is something that could happen in a live poker game, it's just like keeping a notebook on hand.

Once you go anywhere past this point I feel it is cheating and/or unethical. For example, I don't like that people can datamine hands where they aren't at the table.

I am also against software that will use help you make decisions while playing. For instance, software that will take into account an opponent's aggression, the action, the board, and your cards, and then tell you whether it's correct to calldown or not.

And of course I am against software that will play for you.
