UCITA, oh my! was Re: Software licensing, etc

Just read the articles. UCITA is a bad thing.

I work for a commercial software developer. I have been developing
software professionally, including shrink wrap software, since most
of you old enough were still drooling over the IMSAI and Apple I
kits. I drooled to, BTW.

UCITA is not good for developers nor consumers and will ultimately
only benefit the biggest sofwtare corporations.
