Comment Need a plain/standardized "disclousure" for EULA (Score 2, Interesting) 446

We need a way to enforce a plain (i.e. table) and standardized EULA disclosure that resides at the top of every EULA. The table should include standardized key words that define the major pieces of the EULA, like spyware, copying, distribution, etc. This should be modeled after the "truth in lending" laws that require every credit / loan application to include a standardized table listing the terms of the loan / credit. Then the lawyers can include all their mumbo jumbo below the table to cover all the corner cases in EULA court judgments.

The first thing I do when I receive a credit card or load application is to flip it over and read the mandatory disclosure table. 2 or 3 seconds and I know right away if I'm being offered a good deal or taken for a ride. Why should EULAs be any harder?
