Don't even get me started on any software EULAs. They all say the same

hardware you are out of luck. If you decompile or otherwise modify our
software we can sue you and take everything we own from you. That means
everything folks.

Ummm, try running Linux! No EULA at all, you are ENCOURAGED to browse the
source code. The only restriction is you can't improve it and then sell it
woithout releasing the source code. The only licensed software I use
anymore is an electronic CAD package and the annual tax program. Everything
else I do is using open source apps under Linux.
