I asked Greg if I was allowed to tell you all the wording of my licence,
and he said
"Yes, of course you can, although I would prefer you refer the people to
me."
And one reason for the preference for referal is that he's got a nice
new licence for you.
"I have a different Agreement for people to sign too, that makes it more
friendly and legal in Europe."
I then asked in what way the one I've signed is illegal in Europe, that
being where I live. Silence.
Anyway, a quick ctrl-A ctrl-C ctrl-V later, here's what I signed.
