If you sign up for a list that has those licenses attached, then you 
are by your agreeing to be a part of it agreeing to the licenses. 
It'd be different if those licenses were added retroactively, but if 
you sign up for a list, you're agreeing to abide by the list rules, 
no? So I don't see this as an issue -- a user voluntarily agrees to 
the licenses by signing up (and ignorance or refusing to read the 
rules doesn't count as a reason to invalidate them....)
