Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA
bhtooefr writes "When Doug Heckman was installing a PC Pitstop program, he actually read the EULA. In it, he found a clause stating that he could get financial compensation if he e-mailed PC Pitstop. The result: a $1,000 check, and proof that people don't read EULAs (3,000 people before him didn't notice it). The goal of this was to prove that one should read all EULAs, so that one can see if an app is spyware if it is buried in the EULA."

I can save you the bother. Here's what I do;
"Is this software under GPL, BSD, or any other OSI-approved licence?"
Yes; install -- No; don't install.
So far it's rarely been a problem. The NVidia drivers still bother me, I'd switch if there was an open alternative that worked but ATI isn't quite there for me yet.
