Back when I was in the software business, the inside story was that Adobe employs way more lawyers than software engineers. This new wrinkle in Adobe's corporate policy reeks of shyster-driven BS. My lawyer father told me that the software contracts he saw suggested that the drafting lawyers didn't really know the law, they just copy-pasted clauses from every other Silicon Valley contract in hopes that they would be protected, and "screw you, J.Q. Public". Many are unlikely to pass court perusal, but by forcing users to sign off on them, the legal hacks figure they have us in their pocket.
Only if you sign! I am learning photography and getting ready to do video... I just made the decision to quit Adobe for a variety of reasons and downloaded the free open source alternative to Adobe's Lightroom (Dark Table)...

I was not aware of Dark Table -- many thanks for the reference!
