Are you under the impression that what you quoted is a long or unclear text?

That of Mozilla is enough clear, although not much better with several external links that must be checked separately. But in general it is a fairly valid rule that the site has things to hide if it puts a very long legal text. A normal user does not bother to read a text of 2 or more pages in a difficulty legal jargon.

Honest sides don't need to do it, good examples are the PPs of the SSuite (the shortest ever) or Andisearch, which are between the bests I know.
