On the Netscape main page there is a DOWNLOAD link with no terms or any info on what is in it. Once you start the install there is a License Agreement. Nowhere in it does it say Gator is included.

This is the closest info I see and it is pretty vague:

WE MAY PROVIDE NOTICES TO YOU (1) VIA E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE PROVIDED US WITH A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS OR (2) BY POSTING THE NOTICE ON A WEBSITE DESIGNATED BY US FOR THIS PURPOSE.

You can withdraw your consent to receive Notices electronically by discontinuing your use of the Software. As long as you are able to access the Internet using the Software, you will be able to receive electronic notices from us.
I do find this section very amusing:
