Red Hat Asks for UCITA Reversal

Posted by michael on from the fat-chance dept.

OSS advocate writes "According to this NewsForge article, Red Hat has engaged the services of Carol Kunze (ucitaonline.com) to try to convince the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws to take UCITA back. There's a list of email addresses in case you want to send the commish a letter yourself." Red Hat's letter is a good start.

  1. UCITA is pro-commercial,,,not anti open by wenzi · · Score: 1, Redundant

    UCITA is pro-commercial allowing the crappy shrink wrapped cr@p to live on. If it was rversed, it would help the end user by making the companies that made it more respnosible.

    Seeing that, me thinks that it would also help open ource by making it harder for closed source companies to compete.

    Think about it, what if M$ HAD to fix all the bugs with M$ SQL...could it compete with MySql ?
