One of the more amusing aspects of the law is that it mandates use of 
open source to implement this nonsense.  (Note:  although statutes are 
not always light reading, this one isn't bad as such things go.  If 
you're curious -- in some ways, this is a considerable improvement over 
the original draft, which Ron Rivest rightly dubbed the "Digital Rectal 
Thermometer Protection Act" -- you can find the full text at
http://thomas.loc.gov -- the bill number is S.2048, and entering it 
will retrieve the text in HTML.)
