That would be tantamount to allowing software piracy in Sweden.  The Mac OS X 
license agreements are contained in a PDF file here:

There is a Swedish language agreement for sales in Sweden.  Using on-line 
translation tools, it appears to be similar to what's already been stated; 
use of the software consistutes acceptance of the agreement.  If you do not 
agree, you are requested to return the software.  Presumably, the retail 
materials contain this agreement, and I'm sure there is digital copy that is 
presented and must be agreed to before use.

I'm sure that Apple has very good lawyers who drafted the license agreements 
and are aware of Swedish law.  While what you are doing may or may not be in 
violation of any licenses, your position that "clicking yes or no is not a 
handshake or oral agreement acording to Swedish law" seems dubious and 
ill-advised.

Consider what you're suggesting:  If EULA's and license agreements simply 
weren't valid in Sweden, then what would prevent massive piracy from 
occuring?  I would assume that if license agreements in Sweden weren't 
enforcable, someone would be setting up their own software copying business.

...and if that happened, I would expect software companies to change their 
license agreements in order to prevent it.

That might be true, but at least in the United States, parents or guardians 
are usually held responsible.
