"This is what just about every other Linux distribution does. Ubuntu
does not, instead relying on text buried on their web site that serves
the same purpose. The use of Ubuntu is also defined by a license
agreement, it's just harder to find. (Which also makes it harder to
enforce down the road, but that's a whole separate issue.)"

My impression is that most free licenses are *distribution* licenses,
and we don't have to agree to them to *use* the software. Could someone
more knowledgeable (than me) about these things please clarify? Is this
true in case of Ubuntu? Do we actually have to agree to a license
agreement to *use* Ubuntu? Christopher, could you please link to the
agreement buried on their web site?
