- fishywang 4y agodoes that mean it could fly if it's free? (for example, a lot of OSS license has similar disclaimer) I don't know wd's case in particular, but just curious: 1. would it fly if the cloud service is also free (no additional subscription fee)? 2. or is it that even if the cloud service itself is "free", they only allow people with wd hardware products to use it, so it's considered part of those hardware products, so it's not really free and is still covered by that directive?
- lukeschlather 4y agoAs I understand it you can legally create a "sale" without money changing hands.
- CydeWeys 4y agoHow is it a sale if no money has changed hands? It's not even a barter. It's nothing.
- germanier 4y agoSimplified, the seller is responsible as long as the buyer can reasonably expect the feature to work based on public statements by the seller and their supply chain (including the manufacturer).
