Topic: legalese: document that a user has confirmed to sign-up ToU?

My director would like to send a list of some sort of confirmation that users have agreed to the Dataverse ToU at sign-up/sign-in. I'm poking around in actionlogrecord and authenticateduser but don't see much. Is it assumed that, since we require the check-box, nothing more is documented?

This reminds me of this issue: Prompt existing users to accept General Terms of Use after revision #4978

In that issue I suggested a timestamp in the database, per user, called last_accepted_general_tou or whatever. Would that help? Currently we don't store anything other than "last login time".

Turns out he just wanted the ToU html itself - easy to snag from the DB. I do see Phillip's point that updated ToU would optimally require updated user agreement whenever there are changes.
