Re: [Cerowrt-devel] Save WiFi from the FCC - DEADLINE is in 3 days *September* 8

[Fred Stratton <fredstratton@imap.cc>]

Apropos the EU Directive.

It might be useful if others read this freely available document.

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32014L0053

Having read the German article stating that DD-WRT was at risk, I can 
find no reference to that in the Directive.

In the preamble

'(19)
Verification by radio equipment of the compliance of its combination 
with software should not be abused in order to prevent its use with 
software provided by independent parties. The availability to public 
authorities, manufacturers and users of information on the compliance of 
intended combinations of radio equipment and software should contribute 
to facilitate competition. '

Others need to read this.
