iTunes 8 License Agreement - FAIL

Might I highlight Section 8;

"Licensee also agrees that the Licensee will not use the Apple Software for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, missiles, or chemical or biological weapons."

I can sort of understand this but WHAT?!

haha

There was a rehash of this on slashdot recently...one of the tags was 'oldestnewsintheuniverse'.

I doubt the developers wrote the license agreement.

This is the standard disclaimer in all Apple Software. There is actually a similar disclaimer in the M$ software licenses, which is why most scientific groups use UNIX, Linux, or proprietary.

Great, 3 months to put it together, now I have to disassemble it.

In case the FBI is monitoring, I'M ONLY KIDDING!

That is a crazy thing to have buried in your SLA.
I wish I had 9 days to actually read through it.
