'Agreeable' is not precisely a derivative of 'agree'. I agree that if I drink alot of beer, I may very well be hung over the next morning. it does not mean I am in the least agreeable about the situation. What the statement reduces to is: "licensee acknowledges that there are laws in some jursidictions, and if you are in those jurisdictions and break those laws, there may be consequences" Well, no shit. That's a simple statement of fact, and not a restriction. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
