If you purchase commercial software, you typically don't actually own the
software you purchase. You license it, and you're supposed to abide by the
terms of that license, no matter how silly they may seem. Admittedly, there
haven't been a lot of court cases that cover shrinkwrap licenses, so this
may change in the future, but that's how it is right now.
