'''CHRIS NOTES'''


* the licensor obligations section is particularly terrible from a substantive standpoint
* clickwrap: "While many legal systems have not fully addressed the effect of these types of licenses, courts in some countries have ruled that a valid consent, giving rise to a binding contracts, can be formed in these fashions.
