If you pick a random EULA and calculate it's readability statistics, you'll find they generally require a grade 12 reading level as well as being difficult to read. These statistics don't mean a thing, but they do help demonstrate what is already known. Honestly, I don't believe that they even read their own licenses. Some recent batch of demos from the Maximum PC cover disk where their EULAs allow you to play two hours - yet the timer only allows one hour of play.
