There are a couple of bills being proposed in the Oregon legislature. One
to stop UCITA and one to adopt it. (For those of you not familiar with
UCITA, it is a nasty little provision being pushed that would make
click-thru licences and all the other variants binding, as well as
outlawing reverse engineering and other things.) More info on it can be
found at:

m and http://www.ieeeusa.org/forum/grassroots/ucita/
It turns out the person who has sponsored the bill to enact UCITA into law
is the head of the Judiciary committee, so this could get interesting.
If you are interested in testifying against UCITA contact Damon Elder at
delder1@gladstone.uoregon.edu. He is the intern for Representative Phil
Barnhart.
Thanks!
