Do you actually read all 10,000 words that come with each software installation
(not all are that wordy, but I have come across license agreements that went on
for pages and pages)?  I expect that if somewhere in the middle an agreement it

underpants on the outside of your pants for the rest of your life..." less than
1% of customers would notice it.
