Abide by the EULA!???

In the EULA:
[...] you agree to: (a) [...] (b) the Redistributables only operate in conjunction with Microsoft Windows or NT operating systems products [...]


Two comments:

1) It's a badly constructed sentence: "You agree to the Redistributables only operate in conjunction with Microsoft Windows or NT operating systems products."

2) It does NOT state that you're not allowed to use it on another OS. It simply states that the redistributables only operate on Windows(NT). That's all. In my opinion it only limits their responsibility with regard to support.

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
