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.)
