Does anybody have information on the legal relationship between
disabling software after its licensing and laws regarding licensing?
I remember that a proposed change to licensing laws in the 1990s,
called UCITA and then UCC 2B (http://www.badsoftware.com/
uccindex.htm) would have made this sort of thing commonplace. But UCC
2B was largely defeated! So is there a legal basis for disabling
software?
