It is not the worst license I have seen, but the worst part is it got annoying having to read the license and agree to it so often. It seems like it is updated often enough that this became tiresome. One of the worst aspects to me is how Apple just removes capability from iTunes and and there is no recourse. That is the problem with depending on a closed source proprietary application for something that matters to me like the front end of my media collection. iTunes also poorly supports the format of most of my audio collection and that is what I mean about it not working well. I use ogg vorbis for most files. I tested a couple of plugins that added ogg support, but I did not think they worked well.
