In addition common sense is also applied. > So you are telling me that all of the software companies, all of their > corporate lawyers, the courts, and all world are all wrong? And that you > are right? Corporate lawyers approach is to add everything they can get away with a more. They know that unless they do something *really* stupid the only action of a court will be strike out clauses as unenforcable (typically those about reselling the license, reverse engineering and in many cases jurisdiction)
