Why We Must Fight UCITA
UCITA
5/2/2000; 4:42:22 PM Feb 1, 2000: Richard Stallman wrote an article for Linux Today called "Why We Must Fight UCITA". UCITA hasn't come up since I started this site, but it is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation I know of, where corporations are attempting protect their "right" to milk us of our money with bug-ridden programs, and leave us no way to defend ourselves against it. I'd love to know if there's some good summary of UCITA I could point to.

"UCITA is a proposed law, designed by the proprietary software developers, who are now asking all 50 states of the US to adopt it. If UCITA is adopted, it will threaten the free software community(1) with disaster." Forget free software, it threatens the consumers (for the same reasons it threatens free software)!
