Red Hat: LEGISLATIVE ALERT: SSSCA - Security Systems Standards and Certification Act. "Without question, Red Hat strongly opposes the bill. We believe it encroaches into the first amendment rights of individuals. It could also have harmful effects on open source software if the fundamental right to copy the software is restricted.
