I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, etc. But I am under the impression that in the USA there is precedent saying that incidental copies that are necessary for use in a temporary medium (eg RAM) are not considered fixed and are therefore allowed under copyright law. If so, then any attempt in a copyright license to require acceptance to make those copies will fail because your permission was not, in fact, needed.
