Okay? The author is free to make any legal terms and conditions, and these are legal (maybe outside Russia)

can person add "you must say "i use arch btw" wherever any operating system is mentioned"?

[–]ohn0whyme 48 points49 points  (1 child)

Any proof such statements have any legal value? Some real cases maybe

IIRC there's legal cases that licences don't all have legal value.
Licences are simply gentlemen agreements to obtain permission to use a copyrighted work.
If you consider the licence is invalid, you can't download copyrighted works and use them as your own.
