UCC 2B: The New Law of Shrink-Wrap
April 19, 1999


10 Questions: Policy Changes To Consider In Light of UCC 2B
1. Should we evaluate the legality of existing and new non-negotiated shrink-wrap licenses?

2. Should we ban new purchases of non-negotiated software?

3. How frequently should our legal department evaluate licenses, given that terms can change from revision to revision?

4. What size software purchase justifies a license review?

5. Should we prohibit installation of all software purchased through unofficial channels?

6. How many more people do we need on the legal staff to handle the evaluation load?

7. How much time must we build into procurement procedures to accommodate legal review?

8. Should we create new standard purchase-order terms, such as those indicating our own forum selection, required warranties and bars to software shutoff?

9. Should we designate a group of employees to evaluate shrink-wrap license terms and ban all other employees from doing so?

10. What is our liability if employees agree to licenses that let them view or manipulate content on the Web?
