I don't know. It may work. It may not. I am not a lawyer.
It MAY be that the authentication is all it really takes to create binding commitment. After all, if you promise me, orally, to do something, that's a binding agreement too (for anything but buying real-estate). The reason all contracts are not made orally is because of deniability, which does not exist in this case. If that's the case, then the above disclaimer can be said to be irrelevant. Or, in short, I am not a lawyer, I am not familiar with contract laws, and I highly doubt that there are any precedences that apply with such new a law. I wouldn't risk it if I were you. > Alon Shachar -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting ltd.
