You seem to be saying that I can "agree" with the law even though I
completely disagree with it, and that "agreeing" in the license's
strange use means nothing at all. Why do you think that the license
wants me to do something that according to you does not entail doing
anything after all? That does not make sense; the licensor would not
have written the clause unless he intended it to restrict what I can
do.
