Hey, can we patch this out?

1) It's terribly passive-aggressive, and I think our code shouldn't do that
2) We don't do this in any other libraries; we assume users can figure out
licensing on their own
3) It's not even correct.
a) the licensing only covers distribution. If you don't distribute, it doesn't
really matter
b) is that even a legally enforceable 'agreement'?
