And for a better user experience the EULA should be presented on the 
store not when the user runs the app for the first time.   This is 
because they can be lengthy and people get impatient waiting for it to 
load on the device.  I use the example code for a EULA and that text is 
in the assets directory.  Google can copy that EULA out of the assets 
directory and have it ready for display.    Reading it can also be optional.

Now of course we can't hold our breathes for this to happen.  Instead I 
am rewriting my EULA display to make the text display optional.  If they 
want to read it there will be a a button to display it.  If they want to 
agree to it without reading it they can do that too but agreeing means 
they are bound to that license in whatever way possible.   Most users 
assume you don't want to screw your business over by screwing them.
