I think this is the correct usage. It is the legal right to be able to repair something. Whereas access to docs and parts is more about making repairability doable. But without the former, the latter is moot.
- pimlottc 1y ago“Right to repair” is commonly understood to refer to a broader political movement that’s about allowing /everyone/ to repair the things they own. Not just large commercial clients with the leverage to demand custom contract terms. Large clients negotiating their own rights is nothing new. This is just contract dispute.
