>EU legislation is underway to ensure that it stays this way.

which one?

Devices with radio capabilities (i.e., all mobile devices) must be designed to prevent executing "unauthorized" software.

  • I'm asking for a specific proposal. I'm interested in reading it. Searching for "EU legislation unauthorized software" yields no results.

  • What do you mean, authorized by whom? The software applications I run have not been greenlit by any third party. Think about a model in which you code, than wait for authorization before deployment... The worst pulp novel.

    What exactly are you talking about, the OS?

    • Ah, you were never exposed to RIM's blackberry signing servers... Those were not the days. I'm glad they were slowly snuffed out of existence.
