Hi Alapan,

with regard to contract, do you mean sales contracts, marriage contracts,
etc. ?

Negotiating:
Yes I guess constraints make sense in any case. But what about if you
negotiate permissions that do not have constraints. For example,

you either get the copy permission or the print permission.

Therefore, I guess we need all perm, proh, duties, constraints, no?
