• "Andreas, the US is very aggressive in making all economic partners have similar copyright protections. However, if this ruling ends up affecting software, the right to repair movement will have a big stepping stone as the DMCA explicitly relies on copyright. Reverse engineering and hacking would become a free for all again if nothing is copyrightable." https://www.osnews.com/story/144547/the-great-license-washing-has-begun/
