<blockquote>
<p>
Software design is crucial for the ecodesign and sustainability of

<p>
The ongoing digitization of infrastructures and services comes
along with a continuously growing number of electronic devices
that are connected to the Internet - be it in private, public or
business environments. Many of these devices need more energy and
natural resources to be produced than the energy they consume
during their entire lifespan. And way too many of these devices are
being wasted and not reparable simply because the software stops
working or is not being updated anymore.
</p>
<p>
Once the pre-installed software stops users from continuing to use
their hardware, restrictive ownership models prevent users from
helping themselves to enjoy longer use of their devices.
Restrictions span from physically locking down hardware, to
technical obscurity by using proprietary software, to legal
restrictions via software licenses and end user license agreements.
This way, manufacturers often prohibit repairability, access and
reuse of their devices. Even after purchase, customers often do
not really own their devices. They are not able to do what they
want with their very own devices. <strong>If you cannot install the
software you want on your own device – you don’t own it.</strong>
</p>
<p>
We, the signees of this open letter,
</p>
<ul>
<li>
recognize that free access to the hardware and software determines how long or how often a device can be used or reused.
</li>
<li>
declare the increased longevity and reusability of our devices to be inevitable for a more sustainable digital society.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>That is why we ask legislators in the European Union to make use of the
historic chance and enable a more sustainable use of electronic
products and devices with a universal right to install and run any
software on any device.</strong> To this end, we demand that:

manufacturer with the service provided by another. Many connected
clients today go to waste simply because their online services go

of services, they must be able to use the device from one

Smaller components of a device often require specific drivers, tools,

of the source code of those drivers, tools, and interfaces to analyse
