      To achieve digital sustainability, it is a political necessity to prevent short hardware lifetimes and corresponding linear business models and to enable free reuse of devices. Neither technical measures (e.g. locking the bootloader) nor legal measures (e.g. general terms and conditions and EULAs) that aim to prevent the installation of alternative operating systems may be permitted. Users must be given the right to install the operating system of their choice on their own devices, as well as any software.

      - In the past decades, however, politics often supported manufacturers' intentions in locking down devices and creating a linear use of hardware in that reuse or modification of the hardware is not allowed or enabled. The Digital Millenium Copyright Act is an example as is the European Information Society Directive.
