Reviewing Software

Court Rules Against Network Associates' Software Review Policy. A court has ruled that the company may not require people who buy its software to get permission before publishing reviews of its products. By Matt Richtel. [New York Times: Technology]

I remember when I first read about this I was kind of stunned. I don't know of any other kind of product where the maker tries to insist that you must have their permission to review it. If someone requires permission I'm immediately suspicious. Even though I understand their reasoning I still think it is wrong to restrict what people can write.
