@miki Fair point, but provided the manufacturer makes their codebase available, the legislation would give 3rd parties the option to seek those licences or patch around them.

Particularly if there are competing component/software vendors that would actually like a slice of a market they are otherwise bullied out of.

Folks in the #UK, my old colleague Dr. Adrian Bowyer is running a petition:
