If you would like to purchase the software and hardware, perform the testing,
and report the results, we'll be happy to listen to what you come up with.  But
if you break the license agreement and end up in court, it's your own fault, and
problem.

Not liking a licence doesn't give you the moral authority to break it.  If you
don't like it, you shouldn't agree to it, so don't buy the program.
