Laws come and go.
Forcing hardware vendor to disclose all information necessary to build drivers is something that is perfectly plausible to enact for example in the frame of a right to repair/maintain the hardware customers buy.
Note that it doesn’t need to be forcing to open source the vendor own implementation of any driver.
- anonzzzies 2y agoYes, this is very plausible considering laws are in the making that forbid bricking of a device by stopping software support or remotely disabling it etc. Seems the only way to fix that is providing enough info to maintain yourself.
