Earlier today we reported that while Apple doesn't encourage it, the Snow Leopard upgrade disk can be used to upgrade machines that have Mac OS 10.4 Tiger installed as well. However, this is actually forbidden by the accompanying EULA, which raises an interesting question: do you have any moral problems ignoring said EULA? And on a more general note, do you actually care about any EULA at all?

It's stupid to agree on anything you don't understand. You can just ignore the message and press the 'Yes' button with intent to circumvent a bug that prevents you from using the software. Did you require that functionality? No, you did not! If you car pops up an agreement to donate your kidney will you just shout Yes and press the 'OK' button? Let me answer that for you as it looks you can't decide: you will not. You will report the bug to the manufacturer and to the local law enforcement office.
These morons should deliver complete open and documented systems. You are the buyers, it's you who decide. But sadly it looks like you're actually selling that liberating power for shiny gadgets, just like those poor exterminated souls some centuries ago.
