InfoWorld is sponsoring a petition to defeat UCITA, the reincarnated
form of the recent attempt by Microsoft and other software companies to
reform the US Uniform Commercial Code.
UCITA would:
Exempt software producers from consumer protection and product
liability laws.
Ratify the most extreme forms of shrink-wrapped licensing--where the
user is held to terms only disclosed when software was installed
Outlaw reverse engineering
US citizens can sign the petition by sending their name and state of
residence in an email to ucita@infoworld.com
