More on EULA hoops

Wendy Grossman writes an intetesting piece in The Guardian today about EULAs, following up on Sarah's recent post on the subject and picking up on the theme of confusing and convoluted drafting.  Wendy says "Eulas are becoming more, not less, important because so many devices mix hardware and software".  She also picks up on Sarah's observation that it's not always the lawyers who are to blame for bad drafting:

"One reason that so many Eulas seem so restrictive and so difficult to read, [Sarah] ... says, is that - contrary to appearances - they're often not drafted by lawyers, but instead pasted together out of pieces of text from other contracts."
