Dear user, we hereby notify you of the following change to your software
license, the change takes place immediately.

THE USER HEREBY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDERS HIMSELF AND HIS FIRSTBORN
INTO INDENTURED SERVITUDE FOR A PERIOD OF NOT LESS THAN 10 YEARS FROM THE
DATE OF THIS CHANGE IN LICENSE. THE USER SHALL BE COLLECTED FROM THE
LICENSED ADDRESS AND SHOULD PRESENT HIMSELF WILLINGLY. A BLACK VAN WILL
CARRY HIM TO HIS NEW MASTER AND CAGE.
