Plan for voting machine probe dropped after lawsuit threat (nj.com)

Protestations of distinguished people like Eben Moglen notwithstanding, generally speaking, a
judge can treat any term of a "license", which technically might not conform to Copyright Law,
as a term of a collateral contract. And because these days you can contract for just about
anything (w/ limited historical exceptions, peaking in the 1960's and diminishing since),
Union County could be found liable for breach of contract, and forced to pay through the nose.
Remember, the amount of "damages" that Intellectual Property holders claim is up in the air as
a practical matter, so there's significant risk to Union County.
