It would also mean that any GPL code recipient could sue for compliance, and since Conservancy is a small underfunded org, that is a huge win since it means others could do that work too.

Conservancy disagrees that GPLv2 doesn't require this. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/mar/25/install-gplv2/ https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jul/23/t

GPLv2 mandates user-modifiable devices too, according to Conservancy at least.

I want the law to compel you to make your products hackable. The GPL is often irrelevant for devices, the law is what matters.

We can have both freedom and safety by requiring re-certification after modification. Like when you heavily physically modify a car then you can still drive it after the authorities decide it is safe.

We really need a right to repair all software (or at least replace).

Agreed. Its not that useful, but I have been collecting exploits here when I see any that could potentially be useful for replacing firmware on devices. https://wiki.debian.org/Exploits

Apparently "almost no PC GPU has hardware support for CEC" according to Arch. Wonder if that is outdated and modern GPUs do? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDMI-CEC

Presumably locked bootloaders on smart TVs are a problem that would block usage of that project?

The lawsuit is indeed about the GPL, but the right to repair (or at least replace) software really it needs to be expanded to all software. The right to repair movement is often about software-based lockdowns. Hopefully it will eventually r

As Conservancy would say, a device with no way to modify isn't GPLv2 compliant either. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/mar/25/install-gplv2/ https://sfconservancy.org/blog&#

You shouldn't have to hack it, you should have the right to repair the software on your device. Hopefully the Vizio lawsuit will help with that for Linux based devices, signs are looking good though. https://sfconservancy.or

Hopefully this lawsuit will mean people can modify the software on their smart TVs; replace it with a Linux distro running KDE Bigscreen or similar. https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html
