>For the difference between a license and a contract,
An important difference to know, but not relevant here. We're not talking about a license; we're talking about a EULA - end user license agreement. Agreement is a synonym for contract. This is a contract in which the copyright owner gives you a copyright license in exchange for money and various promises from you.
