Just a nit pick:
This license operates under the false assertion that it is by default
unlawful to use a copyrighted work that you have lawfully aquired. In
reality, you don't have to accept the license terms to use the program, only
to engage in acts permitted by the license that would otherwise violate
copyright law.
