Sounds to me like the software giants might just have shot off their own foot on this one. Since UCITA does not apply in Oklahoma, and since the law can be read that other commercial law may not be applied to information licenses, one might conclude that EULA's and such have NO legal standing in Oklahoma. Implied consent and other such concepts are based on contract law (as opposed to copyright law which would still probably rule out pirated copies). There can be no enforcable agreement between buyer and seller without an appropriate body of commercial law except for common law. And note that common law states that a contract must be of value to both parties, not just one.
