Most people won't read them, because they are so nicely rapped up in unreadable sentences.
Is that the way to deal with the people that want to install the program, if the program and the maker of it are fair?
1) Messenger Plus has 1 eula, just as any program should have as that is the legal thing todo. The sponsor, which is a seperate program has also an, just as any program should have as that is the legal thing todo.
2) I know this has been said over and over, but the truth is that it is the user's own responsebility to read them or not.
If you buy something, or hire something or whatever, you also want to read what it does or doesn't. Why is it so difficult to understand that with software this is just the same?
3) Messenger Plus! nor its sponsor is "most malware-pusher". (generalizations)
4)
"Is that the way to deal with the people that want to install the program, if the program and the maker of it are fair?"
yes that is the legal and not to mention the fair way. The opposite would be illegal and unfair.

However you want to turn and twist it ... that's malware.
Adware is adware. If the pope made same adware it is adware, if MS includes ads in Messenger it is adware. If "LOP" has an adware program it is adware.
Again you generalize and base your finding on what other people say, not on investigated facts.

Thank you, that's exactly my point.
If you know, you don't install.
No that is not what he has said and is not exactly your point at all. Panachiba said that he will not install something which he does not know. Which is the most smart thing todo.

And that you think that anyone should?
1) it is stated in the very first lines of the eula (so you don't even need to scroll down, all you need todo is open your eyes and read a few lines instead of clicking on everything like a mindless robot.
2) yes I do read eula's. I want to know and understand what I'm installing, I would be stupid not to.
