This issue - contract only works where parties know about the contract before - has arisen in previous discussions. The usual retort went like this: (1) you don't *know* that it is not enforceable, you just *assume* - court cases like this are few and far between; (2) even having a non-enforceable license that basically says what we want is suitable as some kind of ethics/morality stick we can use to beat people who misbehave, even if they misbehave within the envelope of the law. Of course, once you go down (2) the question arises, why do we need a lawyer at all, why not write down a "brief brief" and be done with it.
