We have been working on a VS Code extension (link in my profile), which released some time ago. I had a thought that may be we should stick with the approach used by most of the ecosystem, when license is linked from the extension page. However, we decided to show accept/reject dialog. I am glad that we did it this way.

I have seen a large number of products (from SaaS to desktop apps) which don't properly ask for license acceptance to reduce sign up friction. They might be affected in the same way (I am not a lawyer).

This is irrelevant, since the theory is that a fiduciary duty exists completely absent any interaction, and any payment, whatsoever, or in the event literally anyone else pays you to do the work (including your employer), you are now a fiduciary of everyone who uses your software in any financial sense whatsoever.

So do you mean that limited liability clauses essentially void? This looks really absurd. How could we develop and distribute any software in such a context?
