Been there.
I had several EULAs drafted and/or proofread by lawyers. Inevitably, they feel that if they don't add a bucket of legalspeak, they weren't earning their money. When pressed if this or that wording really needs to be that contrived, they would come back with "not really, but better safe than sorry".
On the other hand there are much simpler licenses that are widely used and that are in fact human readable. BSD and MIT licenses being a couple of examples.
- josscrowcroft 13y agoFair play, and it all depends on the project - although in this case I'd rather sacrifice readability (remember, you can do summaries like http://500px.com/terms http://500px.com/terms to great effect) for peace of mind. Knowing it's been professionally done lets me sleep more soundly!
- DannyBee 13y ago"they feel that if they don't add a bucket of legalspeak, they weren't earning their money" Then you are hiring the wrong lawyers. I am happy to put you in touch with lawyers that don't feel the urge to randomly wordsmith stuff so that the feel like they are earning their keep.
