    First of all I want to say thank you to the Unity for the Unity 5 being free. I've been watching the stream live, and was quite excited with all 13k ppl over there). Thanks.

    Now, when I've read the new Software License Agreement, I have few questions:
    1.
    I'm interested about what kind of DATA collection you mean over here exactly? I'm sure there are some data which I shouldn't collect from mobile phones, and if I do, I have to explicitly mention about it, otherwise I'll get banned from stores... If it's not harmful data and doesn't discover the user identity or doesn't collect any personal information, then it is fine. But again, according to the License Agreement its not clear. Could please clarify it a little bit more?

    2.
    The whole paragraph is unclear. Especially "the user interface or primary functionality " how come that one can code the primary functionality of the electronic device using Unity? If my game is in Google and 1 million ppld downloaded it, its more then 1k. Do I need additional license?

    Thanks.

    The second one isn't unclear in my opinion.. It's about kiosks and stuff where the only/primary way to use it is through a Unity application.

    No, your game on Google Play would be a game, not the "user interface or primary functionality" that would be Android. This part was added in 4.2 I think. If you search the forums you might be able to find the original discussion. A unity Staffer explained what it meant.

    Thanks for clarification about the second point. How about the first point?

    Any officials?

    I'm also looking for information regarding this issue (point 1), and I've yet to find any clear answers on it.
