Not so much consideration as acceptance. That's what _Netscape_ established; just putting software on a Web page in parallel with a restrictive license doesn't bind someone who downloads the software to the license, because there is no reason to think that it was accepted. Consideration is a matter of form (de facto); acceptance is not.
