As Bruce explains regarding Apple's license, our demand will be a kind of, 
because in a legal procedure the one who supposedly violated the license 
would have to demonstrate, he sent an e-mail, that will be enough despite 
of the fact the mail arrived or not.

But by this way the attempt of the notification will not be "by license" and,
in my opinion, people will by-pass it. don't you think so?
