- nhchris 4y agoI assume that means if I resell phones after putting a privacy-first ROM on them, or make a messaging app that doesn't get preinstalled by vendors or isn't available through either Google's or Apple's walled garden stores, that makes them "not commercially available". This is, explicitly, one law for the corporations, and another for the commoners.
- rlpb 4y agoI think it depends on the exact wording. I get the impression from the document they don't consider their wording final yet, so we can only rely on their intent. I'm not sure their intent is bad in the sense that you're concerned about, based on what they've stated. But we'll have to see.
