Randall,
You can't be serious -- go ahead and break the EULA because you might
get acquired instead of sued? That seems a bit like saying, go ahead
and drive into a tree, your airbag should deploy. Since when are big
companies afraid of suing the competition into compliance?
Not exactly true. A large company would never let a case like this
go to court. Bad publicity. Unless the tool you are planning to
release directly competes with or decreases the need for said
product, your tool will only be seen as adding value to the
marketplace. More and more illegal bs is being written into user
licenses as scare tactic deterent. Much more likely is that your
product would be aquiered. Remember who is most likely to sit on a
jury (not board members!).

What country are you working from? In the usa it is illegal
to include anything in a contract that is illegal. I am
pretty sure the restriction of use clause you are describing
would fall pretty hard in an appeals court. Imagine BMW
demanding that once a person had driven in or been a
passenger within one of their cars, that they could not now
ever do the same in another car not made by BMW.
I am not a lawyer, but anyone who takes the advice above at face
value will
probably end up needing a good one.
