I concur with Nemo that in my last 25 years of exp I fail to recollect
any case where any freeware vendor had been held liable in any court
except for virus and malware writers.

This act which I had been blissfully ignorant of, basically takes all
rights that a consumer might have and gives them to the vendor. It is
evil in its definition and does not expand consumer rights and is not a
consumers friend.
This proposed act does not appear to have passed in tact by any state
legislature I could find in spite of high level lobby by industry in
many states. Perhaps I did not look far enough, but I did not find
where this proposed act was ratified in any state. I did see where they
were trying to sneak it in for federal consideration, but it is a snake
oil citation that does not apply. But the act itself was interesting
reading.

If I were a software writer selling software...I would want this law as
it expands my protections.

Must be that crack thing using this as a citation.
