All this discussion of whether or not GMs should take PCs gear away and what the Gentleman's Agreement is or is not is missing an important point.

How does requiring a roll to learn a spell fix the problem?
If the wizard passes the roll then he's learned the problem spell and can't unlearn it any more that he could have without the problem spell.
