When Installing a Program on Your Computer Do You Read License Agreements?

I am guilty of not reading these license agreements also known as EULA (end-user license agreements). Not only it is too long to read, it contains so many words that are very hard to comprehend. As long as it is a program that has been developed by a respectable organization and you are not installing a pirated copy, I guess you'll be okay without reading it. What do you think?

No, I never do. I just assume it says pretty much the exact same thing that the one before it did. It would be nice, though, if they included an idiot-proof summary for those of us who don't want to read ten pages of gibberish, just to read it again ten minutes later on another program.
A good example of a summary would be this.
1. Don't claim you made this program. It's ours.
2. Don't sell this program. You didn't make it.
3. Don't use this program to do bad stuff, and if you do, and get caught, don't blame us.
There. I summed up all the gibberish in three simple statements, lol.
