Honestly I can't remember the last time I read an EULA, but be on the watch for Adware/ PUA's/PUP's. :S

Good artcile, Jasper...thanks for posting.
 
I have in the past tended to use Javacool's EULAlyzer application which whilst not perfect does highlight some important points to be aware of in a EULA...anyone concerned by EULAs and what they may contain might want to take a look?
