Hi Riley,

I am replying to you on the debian-legal list to let you and
debian-legal know that it has been a couple of months since your email
and I haven't heard anything back from debian-legal. As I am also not
a lawyer, I will hold off on taking any action until I hear from
debian-legal.

Thank you for reporting this and I hope to hear from debian-legal soon.

Bug#805762: armory: Click-wrap dialogue appears on first use of package

[Riley Baird]

Package: armory
Version: 0.92.3-1+b1
Severity: normal

Upon starting armory from the CLI, I get a notice which requires me to tick a
box saying "I agree to all the terms of the license above" before I can use the
software. This is annoying, because a wonderful part of using Debian is not
having to worry about licensing.

However, I think I should point out that (as you can see in the attached
screenshot), in addition to the AGPLv3, it is stated that "Additionally, as a
condition of receiving this software for free, you accept all risks associated
with using it and the developers of Armory will not be held liable for any loss
of money or bitcoins due to software defects." I am not a lawyer, so I do not
intend to interpret how the AGPLv3 and this condition interact, and I've
forwarded this message to debian-legal.
