Bug#1033868: linphone-desktop: cannot use any account, without agreeing to terms

Package: linphone-desktop
Version: 4.4.10-2+b2

When starting linphone-desktop, the four buttons to create or use any
accounts are greyed out. Users are supposed to first accept the "Terms
of use" and "privacy policy" of "Belledonne Communications" by
checkmark. The actual documents are on web pages under www.linphone.org.

IMHO, agree to terms only makes sense, if using their linphone SIP
service, but not when using any other SIP account. I really hope (but
did not yet check), that linphone does not interchange any data with
Belledonne, if I don't use their linphone SIP service, right?

Suggested solution: The buttons "Use SIP account" and "Fetch remote
configuration" must not be greyed out, even if user does not agree to
the terms. The other two buttons ("Create a linphone account" and "Use a
linphone account") should remain as they arey.

Also, the two documents might not be available, e.g. because using
linphone-desktop in an internal setup without web access or in a country
where outside web access is blocked. Maybe the documents could be copied
and linked to /usr/share/doc/linphone-desktop/?
