And don't you know, I have a contract on my web site which says that my data can't be used under the ODbL. Anyone who reads this email is thereby made aware of that contract. And anyone who uses my data is thereby in agreement with it. That's how contracts work, right? You just list a bunch of stuff you want and anyone who reads the contract and does the things you say constitute agreement, has to obey it.
