Any recipient can do this equally well without a license from the vendor allowing them to do it. If they have the firmware blob, and have the technical capacity to modify it, they can modify it and redistribute it — either breaching copyright or not, depending on the copyright license. Are you saying that EU law makes the vendor liable *only* in the case where the copyright license to the firmware permits the recipient to modify and redistribute, but *does not* make the vendor liable if the license doesn't allow this? -- \ “To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no | `\ choreography, and the dancers hit each other.” —Jack Handey | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
