However, I am not a lawyer, so I cannot say if that restriction is legal, nor if not reading that document is enough to not cause problems.
So in short: Nothing has been done. If you think this is necessary and want to do that, feel free to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or me. I'd be very happy if I could answer this question with "a lawyer has told me ..." the next time it comes up.
