Excerpts follow:


"Principal Financial Group and Prudential Insurance
Company of America want to alert you to UCITA (and) 
opposition from 24 attorneys
 general, numerous consumer groups, many large
 and small licensees and from the American Law
 Institute (ALI)...


UCITA would: 

    validate shrink wrapped (standard,
    take-it-or-leave-it) licenses 

    allow vendor to threaten disruption of licensee's
    critical systems through electronic "self-help" if
    its demands were not met; whether vendor may
    waive right to self-help is questionable 

    impose new uncertainty regarding the duration of
    licensee's right to use licensed software 

    change commercial practice through new default
    rules as to number 
    of permitted users under license 

    place unreasonable burden on licensee to
    discover defects during an evaluation (thereby
    subjecting user to licensor's contract terms) 

    limit vendor's implied warranty of
    non-infringement to US usage, even for
    worldwide licenses 

    restrict "perfect tender" rule to narrowly defined
    "mass market" transactions
