Hi. I guess I've been accused of being a vogon from time to time. But if
someone compelled me to sign a license that has been declared to be an
illegal infringement on my rights, I personally wouldn't feel compelled.
Please keep in mind, that my personal standard is that if you make a
promise, even if it causes financial loss you should keep that promise (Ps
15, and elsewhere), but an illicit promise compelled would be a different
story I would think.
