Those licenses are a joke. Look, if you registered or subscribed to anything and you don't follow the terms of service, they can cancel your account, or whatever. If you buy software and hack it, they can't come and take it from you. Get where I'm going with this?
It would never hold up in court. Even on the issues of the BIOS, you can't edit existing code and redistribute it, but you can edit it all you want. And you could legally tell someone else how to do the exact same thing.
Those software licenses more or less cover their ass, you paid for the software, do what you want with it.
