    Well I guess it meets the letter of the law :/

    They can choose between either affirmative acknowledgment:

    (A) The seller receives at the time of each transaction an affirmative acknowledgment from the purchaser indicating all of the following:

    (i) That the purchaser is receiving a license to access the digital good.

    (ii) A complete list of restrictions and conditions of the license.

    (iii) That access to the digital good may be unilaterally revoked by the seller if they no longer hold a right to the digital good, if applicable.

    Or a notice:

    (B) The seller provides to the consumer before executing each transaction a clear and conspicuous statement that does both of the following:

    (i) States in plain language that “buying” or “purchasing” the digital good is a license.

    (ii) Includes a hyperlink, QR code, or similar method to access the terms and conditions that provide full details on the license.

    Without a requirement to declare any restrictions (e.g. non-transferability) or revocable nature of the license the notice option is pretty toothless.
