So what? You're still responsible for it - its nourishment and maintenance. I agree 'right to repair' seems a little off, but its a subset of 'right of self-determination', i.e. basic liberty, which from the outside looking in is preached about a lot but not very practiced in the US.

i mean we could. but it seems like you wouldnt want that since your brining it up yourself. seems very like a very easy thing to ignore since it doesnt seem any malicious. unless there are trademarks im not aware of.
