While your issue is presented as if it were serious and unfairly restrictive it is both freely and easily solved. You may protest against this, seemingly unfair, situation by refusing to use the software on the basis of disagreeing with the EULA. There are in fact a [significant] number of alternative packages that are available under less restrictive licensing.

The real issue here is restricting yourself unnecesarily to certain specific software. This restriction is one of your own choosing and is easily defeated by making a more rational choice instead of voluntarily locking yourself into it.

My issue is one of substance and is much more fundamental as well as widespread: I object in principle to the use of silicon in computing. It is unnatural and discriminates against carbon. I only accept computing based on carbon devices!! No one is offering carbon based [machine] computing. It is posited that carbon-based devices will be available once the development of diamond strata progresses. This is simply a cover-up for further anti-carbon discrimination. The price will be prohibitive, locking most users *out* from access to carbon-based computing and even once it becomes affordable it will still be controlled by the manufacturers and will not be able to be implemented by those seeking freedom from silicon-based machines. Only those willing to support and subsidize these restrictive and unfair manufacturers will be able to participate in non-silicon [machine] computing.

If you wish to be taken seriously you must be willing to take on issues of actual substance and not just content yourself with complaining about verbiage that is extremely easy to circumvent. Please adjust your scope [of action] accordingly if you wish to be respected.
