Comment on OpenWRT vs. FCC – Forced Firmware Lockdown? [video]parent

It's only the radio that has to be locked. Why do you need the freedom to reprogram the radio (not talking about the router)?

Why do you need the freedom to reprogram your computer?

The main reason is "because I want to".

In this case the radio is not the computer. The fair balance here is to lockdown the radio, but not the chips that run the software that uses it.

You didn't answer my question. Why do you need the freedom to reprogram your computer?

Any answer to that also justifies my desire to be free to reprogram my radio.
