I wonder how software licensing fits into this new EU right-to-repair directive. It seems pretty critical for repairability!

Press release: Right to repair: Making repair easier and more appealing to consumers

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240419IPR20590/right-to-repair-making-repair-easier-and-more-appealing-to-consumers

"Manufacturers [...] will be prohibited from using contractual clauses, hardware or software techniques that obstruct repairs."
