A false statement followed by a command. That's not exactly what I expect from a license, which is supposed to PERMIT things. Regardless of its enforceability, I don't think we should package this software if its authors firmly believe that a user who types "apt-get install libchk" thereby agrees to an agreement he hasn't seen yet. They're trying to restrict use as well as distribution. Richard Braakman
