Hi,
the terms of use page was intended solely for the web site content on dhis2.org and not the DHIS 2 software.
I can see it being confusing and I think its a good idea to put a clarification on top of that page like you say. I have taken out the use of "software" and put in a statement saying "not applicable to the DHIS 2 software" under license.
I think we need to keep the terms of use page - without it we could find another organisation scraping our web site and put it up as their own, without violating any defined terms.
Lars
