"This is what just about every other Linux distribution does. Ubuntu does not, instead relying on text buried on their web site that serves the same purpose. The use of Ubuntu is also defined by a license agreement, it's just harder to find. (Which also makes it harder to enforce down the road, but that's a whole separate issue.)"

My impression is that most free licenses are *distribution* licenses, and we don't have to agree to them to *use* the software. Could someone more knowledgeable (than me) about these things please clarify? Is this true in case of Ubuntu? Do we actually have to agree to a license agreement to *use* Ubuntu? Christopher, could you please link to the agreement buried on their web site?
