There are some states where 'shrink-wrap' licenses are not valid.
However I don't believe Apple System Software License qualifies
as 'shrink-wrap'. 

Or at least the portion on the outside which always states
something like "This software is only licensed for use on a
single Apple Macintosh CPU."

Usually the 'shrink-wrap' laws only require that if on opening the
package, the conditions are unacceptable, you can get a full refund
despite any conditions in the license stating otherwise. They
don't allow you to ignore *all* the license conditions on your own
judgement.
