Ugh, I've obviously never tried it or I'd have been saying no way, |
| 10 |
myself. I'd have to see it but normally anything software that has |
| 11 |
anything like that, even registration, is way to much like slaveryware |
| 12 |
for my taste, and it's gone off my system faster than it downloaded in |
| 13 |
the first place! |

For awhile imagemagick required MSCorefonts, with a similar EULA/ |
| 16 |
whatever, and (after I filed a bug) I put the corefonts package in |
| 17 |
package.provided and that was it. It didn't actually need it anyway, |
| 18 |
except for a specific operation I never tried, at runtime. Now they |
| 19 |
control that with the truetype USE flag IIRC, so I have it in package.use |
| 20 |
with that flag turned off -- the only package on the system with it |
| 21 |
turned off. |
