MacroAid - A Libel Case in Two Parts. Part Two.

Roll on prison. Yep, decided a cell-mate named 'Bubba' is better than a ten-minute grilling by the other annoying BBC presenter forenamed Jeremy (as opposed to this one).

So it's full-steam ahead for the SS Libel, sailed by Captain Slander, with this parody that has shamelessly stolen from Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition End-User License Agreement.
You know, the thing you have to shred to pieces in order to get at that shiny, sparkly CD.

Gates Foundation (r) Sure-Start In Life 7 (tm) Individuals and Communities Edition

END-AID-USER (BENEFICIARY) LICENSE AGREEMENT



IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-Aid-User (Beneficiary) License Agreement ("EAU(B)LA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual Aid beneficiary or a representative of an Aid-capable community) and the Aid-Supplier ("SUPPLIER") of the Aid-service or Aid-service packages ("AID-SERVICE") with which you acquired the Gates Foundation Aid-package(s) identified above ("AID").

The AID includes Gates Foundation Aid-packages, and may include associated services, printed pamphlets (currently only available in English, but if you go to a Gates Foundation school, you speak English anyway), advice from well-meaning but hypocritically wealthy, MTV-educated Western teenagers, or ambiguous Wikipedia-based guides, such as how to purify water by urinating in it. Note, however, that any aid, pamphlets, or advice/guides that are included in the AID, or accessible via the AID-program, and are accompanied by their own license agreements or terms of use are governed by such agreements rather than this EAU(B)LA. The terms of a printed, paper EAU(B)LA, which may accompany the AID, supersede the terms of any on-packet or from-Aid-worker EAU(B)LA.

This EAU(B)LA is valid and grants the End-Aid-User rights ONLY if the AID is genuine and a genuine ‘Prescription of Authenticity’ for the AID is included. For more information on identifying whether your AID is genuine, please see:

http://www.gatesfoundation.org/piracy/gar!/genuineprozac_howto.

By injecting, swallowing, applying or otherwise using the AID, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EAU(B)LA. If you do not agree to the terms of this EAU(B)LA, you may not use or share the AID, and you should promptly contact your Aid-Supplier for instructions on return of the unused Aid in accordance with the Aid-Supplier's return policies. Due to collection restraints, Livestock Aid cannot be returned. In circumstances where Livestock Aid is not required by you, please dispose of it safely and securely, in accordance with local Environmental Safety Regulations.

Aid-packages as a Component of the Aid - TRANSFER.
THIS LICENSE MAY NOT BE SHARED, TRANSFERRED TO OR USED CONCURRENTLY BY DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS or COMMUNITIES. The AID is licensed with the INDIVIDUAL or COMMUNITY as a single integrated product and may only be used with the INDIVIDUAL or COMMUNITY which agreed to this EAU(B)LA. If the AID is not accompanied by new Gates Foundation-approved INFRASTRUCTURE, you may not use the AID.

You may permanently transfer all of your rights under this EAU(B)LA only as part of a permanent sale or transfer of the AID, provided you retain no reverse-engineered blueprints of medicine, nor any benefits as a result of Gates Foundation Aid-services, i.e. freshwater wells, electricity generators, roads, etc.
You may permanently transfer this EAU(B)LA only if you transfer all of the AID (including all food packages, any medicine and printed medical texts, any additional aid, this EAU(B)LA and the ‘Prescription of Authenticity’), and the recipient agrees to the terms of this EAU(B)LA. If the AID is an addition, any transfer must also include all prior distributions of AID, including but not limited to: older medicines; out-of-date advice; and less-modern farming implements. Any resultant offspring arising from Gates Foundation Livestock Aid remain the property of the Gates Foundation and must also be included in any transfer.

Mandatory Activation.

THIS AID SHIPS WITH INTERNATIONAL RESOLUTIONS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO PREVENT UNLICENSED OR ILLEGAL USE OF THE AID. The license rights granted under this EAU(B)LA are limited to the first thirty (30) days after you first receive the AID, unless you supply information required to deliver-and-distribute your licensed copy in the manner described during the delivery-and-distribution sequence (unless the Aid-Supplier has delivered-and-distributed for you).

You can deliver-and-distribute the AID through the use of the road, rail, sea and air INFRASTRUCTURE; toll charges may apply; please be aware that these vary between regions and according to proportions of marauding bandits. You may also need to re-distribute the AID if your household or community changes or when additional AID is received; new toll charges will apply each time AID is distributed.
