I don't think this will necessarily help, as it doesn't give you the 
reasons people might not agree. In my case, I feel I am being told 
'agree to this new license which we haven't fully explained by this 
deadline or we will delete your data'. If that really is the case, I 
would not agree to the change - not because I think it is a bad license, 
which I don't know, but because I don't like the process.
