Yup.

I remember in late 2003, when I read the legalese bumf that came with Windows XP... very long, and painful, drudgesome, cryptic, hiding "deal with the devil clauses" (they can change the agreement after you agree), and very restrictive.

Then I read the GNU GPL v1, and other Free Software licenses.

Never went back to the abuse of proprietary licensed operating systems.

The freedom, the upfront honesty, the brevity, the simplicity, ... I thought for sure "The Year of the GNU+Linux Desktop" was sure to be the next year. ... Everybody else reads the terms and conditions... right?

Most of the TOSes boil down to: “Don’t be a jerk towards us. Don’t be a jerk towards others. We don’t owe you the service. Sue us in California.” I usually skim the TOS to see if there’s something unusual.
