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?

This would allow us to offer a user friendly end user licence agreement (EULA)
and would remove the cause of bad press and angry users reading the EULA
really carefully.
