I'm by no means any expert in US law or the UCC (I live in Canada), but I would think that not honouring the "out-clause" could render the licence invalid... It would be an interesting test case...
See ProCD v. Zeidenberg. The 7th circuit appeals court upholds the validity both shrinkwrap and point-and-click licenses.
The issue of "C2 certification" is pretty irrelavent when you remember a couple of points: a) You can only certify individual systsms, not an OS. b) The C2 spec is for STANDALONE systems only... As soon as you connect a system to the network, it no longer meets the C2 requirements...
