I don't believe that a "Shrink-wrap" license is a valid contract. I'm nearly
positive of that. To be a valid contract, there must be signatures involved
=OR= a "provable" verbal agreement.

The "Shrink-wrap" licenses are only enforcable to the point that Federal law
allows. Anybody can put what ever they want in writing and insert it into
whatever it is they're selling, but only the Federally recognized portions
of that writing can, or will, be upheld in court.
