First, a nitpick that the FCC makes regulation not legislation, and it could do this under existing authority. Second, I think a fine solution would be to force open the buildable source including all drivers and firmwares upon EOL. If top-down security updates will stop, then all components must be open source at that point.


All information required to build, package, and install; as well as a license for anyone using or working on affected hardware to the copyright and patents involved for use with affected devices.


Aside from one being voted on by an elected body and on and unelected body what exactly is the difference between regulation and legislation?
