UCITA - unethical software legislation
(UCITA - Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act)

 

  • Some ideas from the: "IEE-USA Opposes Restrictive Software Legislation" by Chris McManes, published in "THE Institute" magazine, Nov 2001.
... IEEE-USA opposes UCITA because it would:
- legalize enforceable license provisions that allow software makers to remotely turn off computer programs during a contract dispute.
- prohibit reverse engineering of software that promotes scientific learning and technological improvement.
- ban an individual from publishing an unfavorable review of software program.
- remove liability from software vendors who sell products with known defects. ...
