Where in the GPL or LGPL is this stated?
- detaro 9y agoGPLv3 section 6 requires you to to provide instructions that allow the user to replace GPL-licensed software on a device, unless there is no upgrade functionality at all (so if you have an upgrade mechanism, you must open it to the user, if you burn the software to unchangeable ROM you don't have to replace that with writeable memory just to enable user replacement) LPGLv3 section 4 modifies this for LGPL-licensed software, requiring you to allow replacement of LGPL-licensed parts of software under the same mechanisms. This is commonly known as the "anti-tivoisation provisions".
