Software license agreements. Huge numbers of successful people click "ok" and don't read the license at all.

  Huge numbers? If I ever met anyone who said they read the full license for all software they use, I would call them a liar.

      I was alluding to 'huge numbers' being an understatement.

      Lawtonfogle changed the original statement regarding reading a contract that required an affirmation to the more nebulous "the full license for all software they use." One does not require a software license in order to use it. An elevator may be controlled by software, without having to sign an EULA. I have seen Stallman using a network connection where the router ran a non-free OS and where he did not sign a license agreement in order to use it.

        >Lawtonfogle changed the original statement regarding reading a contract that required an affirmation to the more nebulous "the full license for all software they use." TBH, I was actually meaning just the software that you have to click agree to or that has the 'by signing up with an account, you agree...'. I may not have worded it fully accurate for my intention, and if so I apologize for the confusion.

          In that case, tormeh is right. Stallman is an example of a successful person (founder of an international movement, winner of the MacArthur genius award, etc.) who uses computers and has not signed an EULA without reading it first.
