If you use proprietary software you don’t own it. no matter how much you legally licensed it. So this is what you always risk.
But fuck Broadcom for being worse than average bordering on illegal.
But I sure hope the “unnamed” virtualization software that they’re migrating to is FOSS, otherwise they’re going to inevitably run into this problem again.
