Actually, I did halfway-install it on my laptop.
Here it is, hope it is correct:
LIMITED SOFTWARE WARRANTY AND LICENSE AGREEMENT.
This LIMITED SOFTWARE WARRANTY AND LICENSE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), including the Limited Warranty and other special provisions, is a legal agreement between You (either an individual or an entity) and 2K Europe and Bethesda Softworks LLC (collectively, the "Owner") regarding this software product and the materials contained therein and related thereto. Your act of installing and/or otherwise using the software constitutes Your agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If You do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, promptly return the software packaging and the accompanying materials (including any hardware, manuals, other written materials and packaging) to the place You obtained them, along with your receipt, for a full refund.
Grant of Limited Non-Exclusive License. This Agreement permits You to use one (1) copy of the software program(s) (the "SOFTWARE") included in this package for your personal, non-commercial use on a single home or portable computer. The SOFTWARE is in "use" on a computer when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e., RAM) or installed into the permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM, or other storage device) of that computer. Installation on a network server is strictly prohibited, and this Agreement shall not serve as a network license in any manner. This license is not a sale of the original SOFTWARE or any copy thereof.
Intellectual Property Ownership. Owner retains all right, title and interest to this SOFTWARE and the accompanying manual(s), packaging and other written materials (collectively, the "ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS"), including, but not limited to, all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, trade names, proprietary rights, patents, titles, computer codes, audiovisual effects, themes, characters, character names, stories, dialog, settings, artwork, sounds effects, musical works, and moral rights. The SOFTWARE and ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS are protected by United States copyright law and applicable copyright laws and treaties throughout the World. All rights are reserved. The SOFTWARE and ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS may not be copied or reproduced in any manner or medium, in whole or in part, without prior written consent from Owner. Any persons copying or reproducing all or any portion of the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS, in any manner or medium, will be wilfully violating the copyright laws and may be subject to civil or criminal penalties.
SOFTWARE Backup or Archiving. After You install the SOFTWARE into the permanent memory of a computer, You may keep and use the original disk(s) and/or CD-ROM (the "Storage Media") only for backup or archival purposes
Restrictions. Other than as provided specifically in this Agreement, You are not permitted to copy or otherwise reproduce the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS; modify or prepare derivative copies based on the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS; distribute copies of the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS by sale or other transfer of ownership; rent, lease, or lend the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS; or to display the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS publicly. You are expressly prohibited from transmitting the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS electronically or otherwise over the Internet or through any other media or to any other party. You are expressly prohibited from selling or using any characters or other components of the game for any purpose. You are expressly prohibited from selling or otherwise profiting from any levels, add-on packs, sequels or other items based upon or related to the SOFTWARE and ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS or created by utilization of the SOFTWARE's level editor available as a separate, downloadable installer. If you create levels, add-on packs, sequels or other items to the Software using the SOFTWARE's level editor, including the construction of new levels (collectively, the "Modifications"), you are subject to the following restrictions: (i) the SOFTWARE's level editor and associated development tools and documentation (collectively "SDK") are considered separate from the SOFTWARE in the sense that they are not guaranteed or supported by the OWNER. However, the OWNER retains all copyrights and intellectual rights to the SDK, as stated in this license. (ii) your Modifications must require a full, registered copy of the Software to run; (iii) you may not distribute a Modification that contains an executable file which has been changed or modified in any way; (iv) your Modifications must not contain any libelous, defamatory or other illegal material, material that is scandalous or invades the rights of privacy or publicity of any third party, or contain any trademarks, copyright-protected work or other property of third parties; (v) your Modifications must be distributed solely for free. Neither you nor any other person or party may sell them to anyone, commercially exploit them in any way, or charge anyone for using them without a license from the OWNER. OWNER encourages non-commercial distribution of quality Modifications; and (vi) your Modifications shall not be technically or otherwise supported in any manner by the OWNER. The prohibitions and restrictions in this Section apply to anyone in possession of the Software or any of your Modifications. YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REVERSE ENGINEER, DECOMPILE OR DISASSEMBLE THE SOFTWARE IN ANY WAY. Any copying of the SOFTWARE or ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS not specifically allowed in this Agreement is a violation of this Agreement.
LIMITED WARRANTY AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS.
LIMITED WARRANTY. Owner warrants that the original Storage Media holding the SOFTWARE is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase as evidenced by Your receipt.

This limited warranty does not apply if You have damaged the SOFTWARE by accident or abuse.
CUSTOMER'S REMEDY. Your exclusive remedies, and the entire liability of Owner, shall be (i) replacement of any original Storage Media with the SOFTWARE or (ii) full refund of the price paid for this SOFTWARE.

YOU MAY NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH INFORMATION OR ADVICE. SOME TERRITORIES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH MAY VARY FROM TERRITORY TO TERRITORY.
LIABILITY LIMITATION. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and regardless of whether any remedy set forth herein fails of its essential purpose, IN NO EVENT WILL OWNER, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES NOR ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PERSONAL PROPERTY, LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, LOSS OF TEXT OR DATA STORED IN OR USED WITH THE SOFTWARE INCLUDING THE COST OF RECOVERING OR REPRODUCING THE TEXT OR DATA, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS, ARISING FROM OR OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SOFTWARE. THIS LIABILITY LIMITATION APPLIES EVEN IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE HAS ADVISED OWNER OR ANY OF ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EVEN IF SUCH IS CAUSED BY, ARISES OUT OF OR RESULTS FROM THE ORDINARY, STRICT, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF OWNER OR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS OR AFFILIATES. SOME TERRITORIES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
