It's quite abusive an probably not legal.
- dimonomid 11y agoAgreed. I'm not a lawyer, so not sure about legality, but since this clause is persisted for so long in their license, it seems they have no problems with it.
- aidenn0 11y agoThey are correct that it's a typical clause in an EULA for the embedded industry.
- phire 11y agoIt might turn out to be un-enforceable, but it would take a court case to determine that.
