An article from the Computers and Academic Freedom News 02.24

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?
