MR -- please do something to make sure your readers know this up front. There is plenty of info on rooting available, but not much on this.

Another user pointed out earlier in this thread, "right or wrong" is largely irrelvant to what is "legal" especially in the realm of civil action. The nookdev folks have done their due dilligence in warning folks, and the warranty is relatively clear as these things go. It may or may not seem "fair" to you, depending on your understanding of the open source nature of the system, but the law doesn't care about fair. If it did, my profession would be much, much simpler.
Thanks for a cogent, well reasoned post.
