Hypothetically if your proposal were accepted -
I really wonder whether we need a EULA at all, if the EULA is only restricting /redistribution/ then users should not have to agree to it in order to simply /use/ the software. Copyright and trademark law will already prevent people from redistributing in ways not allowed by the Licence, so what function does the EULA provide except annoying users and generating bad reviews? The EULA is not restricted to redistribution. Usage and warranty is covered here as well. M
