It's terrifying!

I looked around quite a lot and it seems it hasn't been introduced here
yet.  It's passed in Maryland and Virginia, and threatening California,
Arizona, Iowa, Texas, and a few others.

I did Stallman's article at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ucita.html,
which discusses how it could impact free and GPL software as well as
stuff written by independent vendors.  It's horrifying.
