What I would do is scratch out the parts of the agreement that I don't agree
with before I open the package.

Then either (a) the software manufacturer can abide by my terms or
(b) they can declare the license invalid, in which case I haven't agreed
>o anything. Since I have a legally purchased copy, I'm not bound by
their agreement, only by normal copyright conventions.

I'd bet a paycheck that it would stand up in court, too.

 .......  If you can read well enough to scratch then surely you have taken
 notice of what the licence says and you are bound to follow its edicts
 no matter how silly (or mabye badly phrased is the correct expression)
 they might appear to be.

   No need to send me the pay check.... its all relative in a capitalist worl
