Please don't get to personal here, it is not about my morals. It is
about consistency and clarity.

I just find it confusing. Really there is no clarity in this example,
as to the rights of the user. What is the exact license of the
software? What is the agreement that you enter into by downloading? I
would say that it is not clear.
