   Why would you need the license to even be a control? Why submit a
license you already know the contents of? Is there some sort of legal
requirement that says the acceptance of the license must be accompanied
by the license itself? Even if so, what the harm of sending the license
with a "No"?

   It seems to me that the use of a read-only control for a license is
largely a matter of presentation, not because the license needs to be
submitted.
