alt Hacker NewsFrom Arduino's Terms & Conditions [1], Section 8.2:
"8.2 User shall not:
- translate, decompile or reverse-engineer the Platform, or engage in any other activity designed to identify the algorithms and logic of the Platform’s operation, unless expressly allowed by Arduino or by applicable license agreements; or
- extract or make copies of the information contained in the Platform (except with respect to Content owned by other users), make derivative works from the Platform, reuse the Platform, or make any other use of the Platform other than as set forth in these Terms or as permitted by applicable law."
Does anyone really want to use an "open-source" maker/tinkering platform with such egregious rules against tinkering?
Replies
The “Platform” is just the website. They are saying don’t hack our servers. There is a caveat for content published under an open source license (like the docs).
Consider yourself Qualcommified.
And with such poor value for the money. When an Arduino costs as much as a Raspberry Pi 4, it's eliminated from contention.
can I "teach" my llm on it though?
Later in court: it wasn't me! It was my agent. LLM agent
Does this actually stop anyone?
