Makers slam Qualcomm for tightening the clamps on Arduino
Qualcomm has revised the terms of service for its acquisition, Arduino, causing backlash from the maker community. The new terms grant Qualcomm extensive rights over user content and prohibit reverse-engineering, deviating from Arduino's open-hardware ethos. Adafruit and other critics have condemned these changes, highlighting concerns over privacy and user data integration. The reaction from the community has been overwhelmingly negative, with many expressing disappointment and concern over the future of Arduino under Qualcomm's ownership.
