I think the silly interpretation of copyright law (that any transient copies made by your computer when you install or run a program constitutes copying and thus require the copyright holder's permission) should be undone. You shouldn't need a license to use a program any more than you need a license to listen to a music disk or read a book or watch a movie or painting. I think that interpretation of copyright law is fully based on a technical gotcha and not in line with the spirit of the law.
