Summary: Excerpt of a video from Odysee, in which an important point is explained regarding a very actual and relevant case, more so given a recent ruling that indirectly impacts software freedom, mostly in (but not limited to) the United States
THE Daily Links in Techrights recently contained a great deal of news about the Right To Repair, usually under the "DRM" section. The subject was mentioned here before, at least in passing, and we've shared a number of LibrePlanet videos about it. Expect more of the same.
The Right To Repair, which many people aren't aware of, isn't just of economic and ecological importance. It also pertains to software freedom, sometimes very directly (e.g. in the case of modern tractors).
