More on UCITA....The National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) will vote on important UCITA amendments at its meeting this week in Tucson.

(See my summary of the most FOS-relevant of these amendments from late May when they were announced.) Paul Festa for News.com has a good overview of the controversy.

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
