I completely missed the part about not even switching apps. This is most certainly wrong and I'd immediately delete any application that presumes to interfere with my other applications. :-/


Displaying a modal dialog or window is perfectly acceptable, however, for a number of uses. If you must display your license agreement when the application launches (versus when the disk image opens as John suggests), use a modal session, but *do not* presume to interfere with other applications. What the user does outside your app is none of your business.

I've run hundreds of apps with license agreements, and none of them locked my screen and disabled app switching. That seems rude and unnecessary.
