We've been debating this issue back and forth in the shop. Regardless of the EULA, this software (and all software you intentionally download) is presented as performing a function. To get this function, you must install the software. When I install the software it is reasonable to assume that it is installing the program I intended. It is NOT reasonable to assume that this installation program is UNinstalling or deleting other software from my system. If I install Paint Shop Pro, I assume I am getting another photoediting program, but I do not expect it to delete Photoshop.
This makes RadLights actions unethical,and possibly illegal.
