The thing I still don't understand is whether a shrink-wrap license is
really a license.  When I open the package, I haven't signed my name to
a piece of paper.  Is a shrink-wrap license equivalent to a verbal
agreement?  I remember a few years ago reading that shrink-wrap
licenses don't hold up in court.  So when the publishers print this
stuff on the packages, I just figure they are trying to use intimidation
techniques, but they can't enforce it.

For that matter, when you get a piece of shareware, or freeware, and there
is a notice granting you certain rights, and denying you other rights to
the software, do these statements have any force?  I thought that copyright
law spells out the rights involved?
