Mike, |

You will need to add the licence to the tree as its a EULA. |
| 24 |
The package will need to be masked by the licence. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If Google provide a click through licence agreement, complying with |
| 27 |
clause 2 is out of our hands. If not, licence masking should ensure |
| 28 |
that users read the licence before they install and subsequently use |
| 29 |
the package. |
