Read the message.  It stated: A VARIANT OF.

Specifically since this is a no-charge situation anything relating in
any way shape or form to a charge will be removed.  The parts I
personally care about deal with acceptable use (i.e. consuming
bandwidth and resources kindly).

But thanks for pointing it out, I'll keep it in mind when I make the
actual agreement.
