    Just wondering if anyone actually reads and waffles through the long End User License Agreements?

    Please vote :) Post as well, if you wish.

    Most of the time I don't because I know I'm not going to violate the agreement. The only time I read them is when I think I might do something that would violate it and I want to check to see if it is a violation or not so I know whether I can do it or not. But most of the time I know I'm not going to do anything to violate the EULA so I don't bother reading those.

    Thank you for your opinion and vote - these will be for a blog post on my blog so I am extremely anxious to get 100 votes to provide an accurate percentage.

    Thanks for your help.

    I do because I buy products for my company, so I have to consider the legalities (I buy enterprise editions of various softwares, so the EULAs are very important for me)

    What do you mean ? Are you going to use this poll as a part of a case study you're preparing ?

    No I don't. If you want statistics there have been studies done on this very subject in the past.
