That works reasonably well for licenses because people reading licenses tend to do so in a rather detail oriented fashion so it's not that big an obstacle to have something that's a bit harder to follow.

It might be OK but it's probably worth thinking about. --da4uJneut+ArUgXk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAlu7Lh4ACgkQJNaLcl1U h9BlGgf+Jd5yIlAzK7IXrz8w956FmPTkmDOrFMDyp5IKt/nNOYYYI8LgnvSRysUW UF6MJN+yr3cCaKjPAhfdV/IuBojliG5E/ooSqijwKFVB8eGdLQ+4i319T1tpNNcM jCb2yfTaVuexPS8fNVEVURre8XF11Z8TvmELROVZN5Eih2EL5BecdZ2gUGtBCM19 CWwmhrKWOxYcZ4sPuYqWLUo39PSDSEs1EL2QSww6q+E1LT5hkhir+j7X5ehLGqYL aHyNJ8haLbPFNn0guJHeGPbZ5D89jb+018UNPcR/xIegxWSHhrylghaV0LiRBtle 07A7WB0QUzP3ojoGnitbPwPeHJoqeA== =hXVf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --da4uJneut+ArUgXk--
