> In the US, at least for the frequently-used free software licenses, acceptance is by conduct. The license is irrevocable once even partial performance has occurred. Third-party rights depend on the wording. Orders for specific performance are rarely granted but are theoretically possible. You won't get legal costs awarded, and exclusion of liability is likely to be valid. > In the UK, where many free-software licenses are probably just bare licenses, no acceptance is required for a defense against an infringement claim. The license is revocable by the licensor until the licensee has relied on it. No third-party rights exist. Orders for specific performance are not available. The award of legal costs is discretionary but may happen, and liability exclusion is generally enforceable. > In the EU acceptance can be by any means, including conduct. The license is probably irrevocable. Third-party rights do exist, and specific performance is available. Nothing was said about legal costs, and liability exclusion is possible but is subject to the the requirements of proportionality and consumer protection. I don't think it's unreasonable to boil this down to a "yes". Particularly given (1) LegalZoom is presumably American, where, in isolation, the answer is likely "yes"; (2) if licenses are considered contracts in any region in which you do business, you should probably consider them contracts, just to be safe.
