This clause caught my eye:

"we need the universal right to install and develop any operating system and software we want on any of our devices. Any legal, technical or other obstacles to reuse these devices for any purpose must not be allowed."

Wouldn't this mean, if enacted completely, that anyone who stole a phone could immediately erase all security measures on the phone, install a fresh OS, and stop the owner tracing or locking the phone?
