Terms of Service: The Length of Common Digital Contracts Do you take the time to read the terms of service before you agree to when downloading the latest app or software?

Of course you do…

The world is awash with apps and internet services that ask potential users to agree to a service agreement. Most people click on ‘agree’ and move on, knowing that reading the service agreements could put them to sleep and defer their favorite internet fix.

That's a nice summary, but the GPLv2 is about 2500 words....

    it's a very clear license and it's only 1 that many softwares use, you read it once and you don't have anymore; The GPL is also just about redistribution, code changes etc etc it does not affect the final user, you only look at the license if you care about it or if you are a developer
