alt Hacker NewsI am annoyed that they just claim that "reverse engineering" will take care of this, instead of really trying to fight back legally.
This is a social problem, and reverse engineering can only help up to a point.

They are likely pretty busy with their lawsuit against Vizio, which is going to trial in August and would set a very interesting precedent if won.

A legal battle is expensive and time consuming. For example they have been fighting one with Visio since 2021[0]. It’s going to court this year.
I’m not sure how well tested AGPL has been tested in court, but assuming it has, the SFC has the right to reverse engineer anything covered by the license. That will help people sooner than trying to get a court to make a decision.
