All interested individuals in the US should be signing this. Presumably, to detect such a violation of the GPL would require some form of reverse engineering. Ratifying the most extreme forms of shrink- wrap licensing is obviously a bad thing. It wastes peoples time, money, and effort. To outlaw reverse engineering goes against OpenSource principles and hampers the development of technology for mankind in general.
Inventors do deserve the first benefits of their own inventions.
Once the damage is done, it might also be very difficult to understand what really caused the damage and who is responsible. I think that software company's should be held liable, but their liability should be disclaimable. I don't think we need any major modifications for the software industry. Maybe some fine tuning, but that could be done in a more general manner that would effect all sales industries. Can a legal US resident also sign the petition.
