Re: [LUG] More ammunition against non-free software

 

Current contract law allows the terms of a contract to be pretty arbitrary. There is, I think, a growing need for regulation at a legislature level as to just what certain types of contract can and cannot stipulate. Unfortunately I don't wait in hope that a more sensible contract law will be dreamt up anytime soon. (I'd advocate a few classes of contract defined in law, and these classes effectively having detailed whitelists as to what terms are permitted, rather than having a few 'unfair contract' laws that blacklist a few dodgy practices and trying to keep up with legalese speaking crooks.)
