Nondisclosure and Competition

Nondisclosure and Competition

  • I downloaded these on July 20, 1999 (ViruScan, a mass-market product)

    • "The customer shall not disclose the results of any benchmark test to any third party without McAfee's prior written approval."
    • "The customers will not publish reviews of the product without prior consent from McAfee."

  • If there are no strong critical reviews, won’t people buy the best-advertised, most established product?

  • These clauses are enforced in the negotiated-contracts market. What makes us sure that they won’t be enforced (given UCITA) in the mass market?

Why did you join CPSR?

CPSR seems to be the more important association for me - certainly it concentrates more on the issues that matter to me than the mainstream professional bodies
