You can write that, but I don't see it. FOSS is built for hacking, designed to empower and enable hacking. Proprietary closed-source software prevents it.

      There is no open source cars, yet car and motorbike hacking is prevalent. I'm sure hardware hackers also have to deal with manufacturers.
