It reads to me like it was written by someone who does not have a good understanding of the English language, and just grabbed some legal sounding phrases from various pieces of intellectual property.

"The statistics information collected by the
Oracle DBA Toolbar are strictly anonymous and are respecting the privacy."

For example means absolutely nothing.

Subject: Oracle DBA Toolbar Licence Agreement

I have downloaded and begun installing the Oracle DBA Toolbar on my desktop.

The Licence Agreement seems to have been written by a person who is NOT a lawyer but pretending to be a lawyer. ("need an express written permission" doesn't seem correct,
"need written permission" would have been straightforward.
" .. transfer information related to Oracle DBA Toolbar" is
too broad -- does that mean that I cannot send this email ?
"and are respecting the privacy" -- what's the word "the"
doing there ?

And the product seems to be entirely a "Visicom" product NOT an Oracle product.
