I'm guessing you're referring to the sentence:

Upon termination of this License, or in
any event within thirty (30) days following
Netscape's release of a commercial version
of the Software, you agree to destroy or
erase the Software.

I've been beta testing software for many years, and I can't ever remember
anything similar.
