IANAL, yet my take is that, if it is well documented about what is the implication of removing that hash mark, it is equivalent from the legal point of view of accepting the license itself (corollary: clicking a “YES” button does not invalidate the EULA because you did not read it!) IMHO, all this would be good practice if it is considered as an extension, distributed separately from the mainstream easybuild repos (to keep foundational code isolated).
