Robolawyer and license agreements

2004-10-15 00:17:12.003884+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Mark D. Rasch says "You Need a Robolawyer" to deal with click-through licensing agreements. I would love a facility that could keep track of what I have and haven't agreed to on a given machine, tell me what's different in the agreement that I'm currently reading, and be able to tell me how my computer is and isn't tainted.

Microsoft could take the lead on this by MD5 signing clauses in their license agreements. They could even sub-license these agreements to other vendors.
