No kidding. Want to save the planet? Tax sales not wages. Make retailers accept all unwanted devices. This would make the repair/upgrade option a good deal.

OK. Then if I completely replace their software with my own, then nothing that remains is theirs.

If they claim some right to prevent removal of their software, then I want rent.

Unless there was an incentive to create ROMs with software that is fully compatible with the open-source spirit.
