st: Stata installation licence

["Allan Reese (Cefas)" <allan.reese@cefas.co.uk>]

When you installed Stata did you just tick "I agree"?  The logic of the
following implies I could ask Tech Support a question and find I'd sold
my daughter into slavery(1) or agreed to donate a pound of flesh(2) to
StataCorp ...

3.1.  Technical Support. StataCorp agrees to provide Customer and its
Concurrent Authorized Users with technical support services in
accordance with StataCorp's Technical Support Terms, which are hereby
incorporated by reference into this Agreement.  StataCorp reserves the
right to make changes to the technical support services offered by
StataCorp and change the Technical Support Terms at any time, and
StataCorp will post notice of the changes and the updated Technical
Support Terms on the StataCorp web site.  Customer's continued use of
the technical support services after such changes have been posted means
that *Customer agrees to the new Technical Support Terms, even if
Customer has not reviewed the changes.*  

Beware!
Allan
