Yes, it is correct, you've nothing to worry about and are 100% compliant. No
need to change the channel or user agent in that case.

In general, you don't need to change any of this when doing Snowglobe
development on your own machine. It's only if you start distributing your
viewer that you need to change the name so that it can be identified or if
you do massive functional changes, so big that the resulting viewer can't be
considered as a "Snowglobe Test" anymore.

As a rule of thumb I'd say if you apply patches you find in JIRA or develop
code for stuff referenced in JIRA (and, hopefully, will submit a patch...),
you have no reason to change the name and identity of your viewer.

Cheers,
