What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Yes, I got the point, always read the license terms but in the end do click the "I agree" button. However, why should we even read the GNU license?

Even software that is "free" comes with terms, in respect to limiting the things you can do with it. Free is also only pointing toward initial cost of acquiring the license, not the cost of ownership, nor does it mean that it is without copyright - but that's not the point.
Fact is, if I provide work for free, I can still limit what you are and are not allowed to do with it. It is what drives this site; most of us choose the CP-license, which is about sharing without prohibiting commercial activities. It would still be crappy if your work was "free of rights", as opposed to "free to use" - would mean that other sites would plagiarize your article, killing your incentive to write them in the first place.
Now, I'd strongly recommend to learn the difference between GPL and LGPL, as it might make a slight difference in who owns your code; it may upset a boss or two if you get it wrong

Because, at the end of the day, who doesn't enjoy reading legalese? Pull up a chair, pop some popcorn, and don't sell yourself short on the good family fun that can come from reading paragraphs of gibberish pertaining to exactly what you can and cannot do with said software under certain events such as the end of the world[^].

I hate license agreements. I often skim over them to see if they actually state anything unusal beyond the legelese equivalent of "Don't hack me", but they rarely do. Why does it take huge walls of text and one hour of wrestling with unholy word constructs to tell me that? I hate the lawyers guts, and their spouses', childrens', parents' too, and as well any parts of government that actually allow such abusive practices. I wish them all a long and painful license agreement to sign the next time they try to use their mobile, TV set, car, toaster, or toilet paper.
I could buy a sharp and long kitchen knife without having to sign an agreement saying that I shouldn't use it against a hapless license agreement author, but I do have to sign a 5 page agreement of legalese to purchase a text editor? Really?

Users of illegal media (software, movies, music) are more severely punished than serial killers.
There's a lobby for media.
So yes, really.

Symmetry is a beautiful thing, Sander!
Hooters come to mind. Like martinis, one is not enough, three are too many. Symmetry is everything, not to mention balance...

I'm an engineer, not a mathematician; hooters are close enough to symmetrical for practical purposes.
