Since distribution is an exclusive right of the author, it is perfectly reasonable for a distributor to enter into an agreement before distributing the software. It seems to be that clauses like "by distributing this software you agree to..." are not a problem. But the use of the software is not an exclusive right of the author. That's why click-wrap is problematic. -- David Johnson ___________________ http://www.usermode.org pgp public key on website -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
