Eugene,

thank you for the link but I haven't found answer to any of my
questions there.

Franky, I asked because my current answers to above questions seem to
be (in order they were asked):
- advantage in possible lawsuits by claiming fake 'opt-ins' (most people
  don't read EULAs but click anyway)
- lawsuits
- none, as long as they keep not throwing users under the busses in
  exchange for "contributions"
- same as above line

... and I hoped someone will give me less pessimistic insight into
this. I still do.

Best regards,
