Wouldn't the liability only be with the company that allegedly stole the secrets? How would the customers be implicated?

- grepfru_it 5y agoMany avenues lead directly to the customer. Linksys used gpl code illegally and when they were found out they had to release updates across all of their products, causing some of their lines to be end-of-lifed earlier than expected. Customers are definitely impacted by that. How about security secrets which directly impacts the customer?
- Talanes 5y agoThe question wasn't how could the customer be impacted. None of those scenarios have to do with the customer being held legally liable for the IP violations of a vendor whose product they use.
