Newspaper article - concerning Autodesk Licence Agreement

Since reading an unfavorable Autodesk article in the Sydney Morning Hearld newspaper, I was wondering if the same license agreement applies in the US.

This is the address of the news article. http://www.smh.com.au/news/Platform/Buyers-beware-of-the-fine-print/2005/05/23/1116700623796.html

Here is a couple of extracts that we are concerned about.

9. GENERAL
9.1. No Assignment; Insolvency. This Agreement and any rights hereunder are non-assignable and any purported assignment shall be void. The Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder shall terminate without further notice or action by Autodesk if You become bankrupt or insolvent, make an arrangement with Your creditors or go into liquidation.
9.5 Audits. To ensure compliance with this Agreement, You agree that upon reasonable notice, Autodesk or Autodesk?s authorized representative shall have the right in inspect and audit Your Installation, Access and use of the Software. Any such inspection or audit shall be conducted during regular business hours at Your facilities or electronically. If such inspections or audits disclose that You have Installed, Accessed or permitted Access to the Software on Computer(s) in a manner that is not permitted under this Agreement, then Autodesk may terminate this Agreement immediately and You are liable to pay for any unpaid license fees as well as the reasonable costs of the audit. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit any legal or equitable remedies available to Autodesk for violation of this Agreement or applicable law.

Yes the EULA is similar in wording here in the US. Why are you concerned?
