I only seem to get this with CPDN - I have to click agree on a legal notice when I add the project with Boinc Manager.  But Boinctasks gives an error.  I complained to Boinc and CPDN and they say it's part of the Boinc API (I think they said API) and point blank refuse to remove the stupid legal notice, saying it's up to Boinctasks to deal with it.  Even Glenn Carver of CPDN said it was your fault, after admitting he uses Boinctasks himself!  Is there any way you can get Boinc tasks to manage this notice?  Preferably by auto-agreeing, or if you insist, displaying the notice so we can click agree?

I'm lookin at it and there should only be a message when you an create account.
I can catch and show the license message, so far so good.
But I get error -224.
I just started debugging the BOINC Manager to see what's going on.

What's the story with me getting the message with cpdn when I wasn't creating an account I was just attaching a new host.  This sounds to me as though cpdn is sending the legal notice out again when it shouldn't be.

Most projects have this notice, I just forgot to implement it...
It probably has to do with European data protection laws.

But I only get the problem with CPDN - I assume with other projects it only occurs when setting up a new account.  CPDN for some reason send it out again when simply detaching and reattaching a project!

And yes, it's always Europe's fault.  What they do is screwing up the rest of the world - eg. cookie notices and daytime headlights!  The UK where I live left the EU but we're still living with the aftermath, and from what friends in the US have said, cookie notices pollute the internet over there too!
