EU wants guaranteed software
This is amusing.
Licensing should guarantee consumers the same basic rights as when they purchase a good: the right to get a product that works with fair commercial conditions.Software generally works when installed on a clean machine with the configuration it was built to work with. If it crashes there's usually something on the machine that the software wasn't expecting. So when software ABC doesn't work, because software XYZ changed something about the machine (e.g. used up all the free disk space), who's fault is it? ABC's or XYZ's? The one with the deepest pockets? I'm sure this law will provide much work for lawyers.
