- Note 7 recaps notes from a SPA (Software Publishers Association) talk to UPenn
- sysadmins.
-
- 7. A few points from a recent talk to UPenn sysadmins by the SPA: When
- the SPA visits your site, they can seize hardware through a court
- order. Generally, they do not do so - instead performing an on-site
- audit of software. The SPA has never actually gone to court - usually
- settling with offending institutions out of court. They have a
- self-audit kit available to you and your organization. They do not
- try to enforce licensing of non-member companies, but they also do not
- publicize which companies are members.

- A description to the comp-academic-freedom-talk mailing list. It is a
- free-forum for the discussion of questions such as: How should general
- principles of academic freedom (such as freedom of expression, freedom
- to read, due process, and privacy) be applied to university computers
- and networks? How are these principles actually being applied? How can
- the principles of academic freedom as applied to computers and
- networks be defended?
