>The most striking addition: users are now explicitly forbidden from reverse-engineering or even attempting to understand how the platform works unless Arduino gives permission.

Damn, like that's ever stopped the very people that like to reverse engineer things.

It doesn't stop much, but it sure is a bad sign.

When Qualcomm got its hands on Arduino, the best case scenario was that Arduino influence would encourage Qualcomm to be more open to small developers, and the worst case scenario was that Qualcomm would devour Arduino and its degenerate lawyer culture would ruin all that's good about it.

This is an update towards the latter.
