You got that right.

I'm starting to decline the user agreements if they aren't easily readable.

Or have another agenda.

At a previous company, they complained about the price of Microsoft Office and
their license terms.  I asked why they didn't go with OpenOffice (Libre Office
wasn't out at the time).  I was met with quiet stares but no answer.

Over the years, when they complained about the price, I told them "OpenOffice
is still free" and asked where the cost/benefit analysis was for Microsoft
Office (which they are supposed to do when deciding any product).  Again,
silence.

Something was up behind the scenes there.
