CA Court Strikes Blow Against Hidden EULAs

Posted by timothy on from the eula-be-sorry dept.

vsprintf writes "Ed Foster's Gripelog has a story on California's ruling against some of our favorite software producers and software retailers. EULAs inside the shrinkwrap are no longer good enough. Retailers with rules against accepting returns of open software could be in for hefty fines or settlements. Finally, a break for the buyer. May this spread quickly to other states."

    Ouch, well clearly whats good for your small community is good for everyone! Even inner-cities with no good jobs to lose in the first place! Man I wish I both knew what was better for everyone else based on my small community experience AND had the mod points to enforce my views on others.
