Radio signals are everywhere and increasingly many devices connect using wireless and mobile networks or GPS. Legal regulations of the usage of radio signals are increasing, too. Now, a European directive wants to revise and extend them by demanding device manufacturers to check each device software's compliance. At first sight, this may sound reasonable but it has highly negative implications on user rights and Free Software, fair competition, innovation, environment, and volunteering – mostly without comparably large benefits for security unfortunately.
