We've all seen this before. Whether we're downloading a game or a program, we've all had to see this type of message pop up. So what it it exactly? It's a End User License Agreement or EULA for short. It's a type of document that most if not all users will have to accept in order to use a company's product. Also, I'm going to take a wild guess and say about 90% (myself included) of users most likely skip reading these and just click accept and move on. However in this week's class, one of the tasks was to read a EULA specifically for the program Unity. At first I was like:
Then, after reading the first paragraph about 10 times in row, I managed to read through the entire thing. My first impression? First of all it's very, emphasis on very, repetitive. Basically if I can sum this up, it states that, talking about the free version, if you make over 100k from using the free version then the company can revoke your use of unity and that you should remove the program. The EULA also stated that if you do "X" and it breaks a rule then you can't use the program anymore. So next time you see this type of document pop, try reading it and find out what exactly you can and can't do.
