Don't care what it says and just click yes, not like it's enforceable.

EULAs and you

Post by Tourniquet »

I'm kinda curious about how other people regard EULAs (end user licence agreements). the lengthy legal documents that come with any software that you have to agree to before you can install it.

Please, if you have used a computer you can respond to this poll and should make for interesting results.

If you click no, you can't install the software, so you have to accept the EULA.

Good Poll - I'm interested to see the results.

Nothing is as frustrating as arguing with someone who knows what he's talking about.

One US company put something in a EULA that stated that anyone applying using a stated procedure would get (IIRC) $1000. 3 people applied.
