good point Arnie, but they don't need one! All they need to do is to refuse to give out the pin! That's what they do. The difference is that there is no agreement not to reverse engineer! That's covered (in software) by law anyway.
They don't give out the design diagrams either, nor the finite element analysis, nor the failure analysis.
So if you get the pin, there is no licence agreement on what you can or cannot do with it!!! Looks good to me.
So the question is what happens if you are the owner of an R400, you hack the ECU, change the map and blow the engine??
