funny license

I installed LCC, the C compiler from Virginia University in USA http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/ and I got a real kick out of its license agreement.

It's great isn't it. It really made me chuckle. Nobody ever reads the licenses... well I did once or twice, but I'm a masochist.
This was like a bright beam of sunlight. :)

heheheh :) Go for it. The more this kind of thing gets around the more we'll start seeing other people writing "agreements" that sound less like shady deals or blackmail, and more like something we would actually like to agree to.
