An alliance of businesses, trade coalitions, and other organizations
mobilized on Friday to fight the Uniform
Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), a proposed law that the
group says will give software
vendors many powerful -- and alarming -- licensing rights.

The coalition -- dubbed "For a Competitive Information and Technology
Economy," or 4CITE, announced
its formation in Virginia, the first state to take up UCITA.
