UCITA being voted on tonight in Maryland
Key points affecting legal rights of software consumers:
- Eliminates the right of return after installing software.
- Cannot transfer a license, meaning that even if you delete or uninstall a program, you cannot lend it or give it to anyone else. Pretty well destroys the right of perfect tender.
- The company is no longer held accountable for defects, is not required to fix them, and does not have to disclose known defects. Combined with the restrictions that can exist on reviewers and evaluators, this can be truly frightening.
