I still don't see the reason of this agreement, nor do I see its legal value.
Its not really legal, just the agreement really. They want to keep things proper. Not sure why.
How about the following: (remove in game ads clause, added clause to handle donations that might be received). Keep posting feedback. As it states, its an agreement, so don't think of it as a strict legal binding document :P
I still think it would be good if we could get their help, and the below should suit everyone???
