Just because something is in a license doesn't mean it is or should be acceptable. There are good reasons why you can't actually sign away an arm, a leg, or your firstborn child. I'll also note that it is fashionable these days to attach abusive licenses and contracts to EVERYTHING. For all that the current crowd in charge likes to crow in favor of capitalism, they sure get antsy at the thought that anybody else might get to own something.
If I have a bill of sale for a game or anything else then I'm going to make ANY freaking use of it that suits my hearts desire. No, I won't give copies away but if I want to connect to third party servers or run the copy of OS X in emulation then the respective vendors are invited to clean unmentionable parts of my anatomy with their tongues.
