I'd be alright with that. I picked that license with full knowledge of what it implies.

The problem is with attaching extra terms of use to my (unmodified, not linked to anything else, not relicensed) code, just to access it there, whereas my code can already be accessed elsewhere w/o agreeing to such terms of use.
Yes, they can add whatever they want, but it just doesn't sit right with me, and I'm not sure it's helping the archive either (which saddens me more than the former); For all this code it has that can also be found elsewhere, there's a barrier to access (i.e. forced to read legalese and agree). Completely unnecessary, as the licenses each individual project has already grants the necessary rights, for both the end user and the archive.
