@Suiseiseki @TeaTootler To clarify— I don't have any problem with systems putting limitations on how the end user operates them in and of itself, but I do think people who purchase a thing ought to have a right to use it in other ways including hacking and modifying and repairing. I believe software when necessary to use a tool (e.g. CNC) makes more sense to be as open to user modifications as possible, precisely because there are potential use cases outside what the original designers anticipated. For example, nobody thought the "Cricut" (a crafting tool that is basically a CNC for paper and stickers) would be used for engine gaskets, but it's become hugely popular in the maker space because it can cut precision gaskets.
