I'm not a lawyer, but i see this vice versa. 

Users upload their keys for the purpose of their usage in the "web of trust" and expect their availability (storage, processing)there for this. 

A contract with the server owner/admin IS emerged with the transfer of the data in the conventional keyserver protocol without any further "written" contract.

Extended, written explicite order is required if the keyserver (their owner) want to use that data for other purposes, not covered by the specs.

This is my view. But clearifying this needs a good las expert with a good understanding in the specs and the whole process.


just my two cents.

Niels.
