You mean this would hold up in your courts? I've always thought it rubbish, it's like me walking up to you and say "If you blink you own me 10 dollars", naturally that doesn't work. It takes two parties to make a deal, and just because you write in the docs "If you start the program" i wouldn't call that an agreement, i hope the law doesn't either.
