Where is the line between your right to repair and Caterpillar's rights to the intellectual property embedded in the various controllers on board the equipment? When does this become an issue when you and Caterpillar have regulatory obligations for the operations of that equipment with regard to emissions, OSHA, MSHA, etc... ? I am sincerely interested in understanding the reasonable expectations between anything we purchase (hardware, equipment, cars) and the IP we license that provides the functionality we expect from those devices. If the license were to say up front, before purchasing, "You are purchasing this hardware and receiving a license to use the embedded IP in perpetuity. If you screw around with the IP, all functions will stop working as expected and YOU personally take responsibility for the hardware from that point forward." Would that address your concerns about, "Right to Repair?" It's a start, because it clearly articulates the relationship between you and the the hardware you purchased, however, I suspect you also want more information so that you can take any reasonable maintenance actions necessary for the life of that hardware without relying on the manufacturer But that is speculation on my part I want a clearer understanding of where you would draw the lines and what you really want from a modern, culturally significant, "right to repair" policy.
