honestly, there needs to be laws where abandonware loses copyright status and allows source/re to be relicensed in something like gpl

but this doesn’t change anything… fines are just CoO, to large companies. they need to be forced to implement methods to allow consumer repair and maintenance, for all current and past models that are resistant to it, to fix this.

“why Europe can’t keep up”: because they are not trying? they are still trying to cater to the same clientele of a decade ago…
