Let me put it this way--clickware license agreements are worth the paper
they're written on.  I -don't- agree with most EULA's I read, much less
click "I agree" for, and since your only other choice is to eat the cost of
the software, I just force it anyway.

I didn't sign anything--even digitally with PGP/GPG, it's not binding IMHO.
Let them prove my niece didn't do it instead of me.
