Whoops... should probably include some more information.

Apparently, "The SSSCA, among other things, will make the following illegal:
* Assembling a home-built PC.
* Using a non-secure computer (ie, a computer built before the would-be
implementation of the SSSCA) on a network.
* Widespread development of open-sourced (non-copyrighted and "digitally
unsigned? software.
* Use of open-sourced software (essentially the entire software platform for
the UNIX and Linux operating systems, on which Computer Science research
relies).
* University and corporate research on systems, debugging, security, and
watermarking."
