agreement.txt

I have 2 ideas for this text file. Since this text file is accessible via a URL, it should be moved or removed.
Look here, or here.
It could also lead to a security problem.

1. Move
Insert this text file in the respective language folder.

2. Remove
Remove and store in the database. Since there are an ID for each language installed, it would be possible to retrieve from the database in various languages.

I'd say move it (no queries for something that is loaded a billion times by bots), but I can't see how someone could edit it with proper CHMOD :P

It's not a security issue at all.

Any language folder is (unless you add specific server-side restrictions) accessible directly by URL, so it's nothing different.
It's a "txt" file, so unless you attached the php-handler to txt files as well, it should not run anything on the server, just show the text, so not really a security issue. ;)

That said, I never saw the point of having it outside the language directory, so I'd favour the moving of the file to the languages directory. nods

I put on github an issue https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/issues/2196, for point 1. Move in the respective language folder.
