[AuckLUG] internet banking

[Anthony Winter]

Nevyn - if you use internet banking you have already agreed to this.
It was introduced unilaterally in july.

Internet NZ are quite concerned:

Westpac yesterday withdrew from it, saying it was unfair to the user.

I have been working with NZOSS on a press release about how it disregards Open 
Source software (linux, for example, which doesn't need virus scanners, which 
are specifically *required* by the above CoBP).

Need more information?

cheers
