Re: [Chandler-dev] Auto-update questions

That should be possible, though it might be beyond my apache/html-fu  
right now. I'm also not so clear on what legal considerations there  
are for an end-user license agreement, and of course someone would  
have to come up with the text.

Assuming the above hurdles are cleared, it would also be possible to  
embed the agreement in the .dmg files (Mac OS), or Windows installer.  
(Not sure if there's a facility for this in .deb files).
