So what? They have a copyright on their software, which is to be expected. IWhat you quoted is not a license agreement. Someone who buys the scope already got a copy of the code, pre-installed on the scope.
Here in Europe any "agreements" that are bascially shrink-wrapped are null and void. Agreements can only come valid if the buyer is made aware of, and agreed to, them at the point of sale. Any agreement that is inside the box, or has the form of "by opening this, you agree to that" simple has no relevance here.
And then, unless someone in Europe would buy the scope directly from Textronix, and they made the buyer aware of any terms and conditions before the sale went through, any T&C's or license agreements will be between the seller and buyer. The seller can decide to re-use Tek's stuff 1:1 if he wants to. But that only means that at that point they just become _his_ T&C's or license agreement. Tek would still have no further say in the matter.
So, again, because it is really important that people not living in Europe understand this: Any T&C's or license agreements that a buery is not made aware of at the point of sale, before the sale happened, are nothing more than justt a waste of paper and ink.
