The whole story:

from said page:

"7. Software. All software is provided subject to the license agreement that is part of the package. Customer agrees that it will be bound by the license agreement once the package is opened or its seal is broken.

"Customer agrees that --->it<---"

This licence does not apply to a human being.

Correction to:

They get one to acknowledge one's soul away.

They have an animate human being acknowledge that he or she has no soul by indirect means. The animate human, who would warrant the appellation of "he" or "she", is replaced by a meat machine, denoted by "it".

Please don't touch this licence with a ten-foot pole.
