Yes: the intent is that an RP validator may ship and use the ARIN TAL by default. If that is not clear in the revised RPA, then the RPA agreement will updated again for clarity.
I feel like you're just gaslighting us at this point. "You have passed through terms that are at least as protective of ARIN ... via browse-wrap, clickwrap [...] for which such third party is legally obligated to said terms." So, no, software developers cannot ship and use the ARIN TAL by default, which means without having to interrupt an installation process with a question about Articles 5, 6, and 7 and Sections 8(a), 8(b), and 8(f) of the ARIN RPA. Why can't ARIN just grant distribution and use for any purpose rights like the other RIRs? -- Niels.
