I wonder if sections of EULA's fall into this category: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscionable Specifically (from the Wikipedia article 2007-08-14): "Procedural issues that a court could consider include a party's lack of choice, superior bargaining position or knowledge, and other circumstances surrounding the bargaining process." I am thankful that I have not needed to address this legal issue!http://tod1d.net/blogs/tech/archive/2007/06/26/Article-of-the-Week_3A00_-Does-Anyone-Actually-Read-Software-EULAs_3F00_.aspx#520Tue, 14 Aug 2007 19:44:12 GMT960ae9f1-ea49-471c-8adf-2f083ed56b37:520Tod Birdsall<p>Scott: That reminds me of &quot;crazy&quot; non-competes that are too restrictive. They prevent the individual from earning a living and they get overturned in court. What a pain.</p>
