Glowing Fish License Agreement[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#6)
by Anonymous User on Fri Jun 17, 2005 at 09:48:00 AM PDT

I found this topic so outright weird I read other parts of their website, and I learned that zebra fish, fluorescent and otherwise, are native to India and cannot survive in non-tropical waters. So I don't think the company was concerned with release of their little gold mines into the wild. And the California part is because the state government will not allow the fish in the state. The company is trying to prevent their products from getting where they are not supposed to be. It sounds like the writer is in violation of more than just the company's EULA. Now, the EULA is comical, and it's unenforceable because the buyer was not aware (and had no reason to be aware) of its existence when he bought the fish, but it's not totally off the wall.
