That's not what it says.  You have broken the law if you use the software
without a licence -- at the time you buy it, you haven't read the licence.
Once you have read it, if you disagree with it, get rid of the software
(return it, destroy it, whatever).  Just don't use it, and you haven't
broken the law.
