- kj99 3y agoSure, but that only applies to devices that aren’t being maintained by someone else, and frankly, it’s not obvious to people who have to maintain their own devices and do a better job, so it’s not clear that there’s any particular argument associated with security here. Just to be clear, I believe that copyleft compliance is important simply because it is the conditions under which the authors made their code available. I just don’t think the headline is honest.
