My opinion is that if someone requires people to accept a license agreement before downloading stuff, it's a server-side problem. Whatever client tool is used, if the server exposes the content via http without credentials and a secure connection, it's very easy to bypass the client. The way Oracle solves that for Java is that the VMs that require accepting something are only available via a web page where you have to login and click through an agreement - that's not fun, but I'm not sure there's a better way if the owner of those bits insists on *people* agreeing to something before downloading. I don't think the "develop the secret bits in a hidden place" makes sense in a world where javap exists ;-) -Bertrand
