The Caterpillar company opposes UCITA, as all consumers of software of any variety should. The full text is available at: http://www.4cite.org/101docs/catopp.html Excerpts follow: " Caterpillar urges other corporate software users to join us in our effort of opposing enactment of UCITA by the states. ...UCITA was originally being proposed as a new article to the UCC and was formerly referred to as UCC Article 2B (UCC 2B). The effort to pass this uniform computer law act as a new article to the UCC failed however because of a controversy raised over the proposed act's unbalance and lack of fairness to software users... ...the drafting committee meetings was dominated in large part by mass-market software publishers (i.e., Microsoft) that showed no interest in substantive balance of the act for users... Some of the problems are as follows: Software publishers can shut down user software remotely without court approval ... Unlimited disclaimers of warranty will absolve publishers from damages for defective software even when the publisher concealed defects that might harm the business ... Software acquired by employees without authorization will end up binding a corporation Click through terms in the software will overwrite those of a fully negotiated contract between the software publisher and the corporation and Allows publishers to write their own intellectual property law and circumvent well established intellectual property principles and statutes "
