#8228: Country Setting ignored in trunk on WNDR3700
-----------------------+----------------------------------
Reporter: Stephan | Owner: developers
Type: defect | Status: reopened
Priority: normal | Milestone: Chaos Calmer (trunk)
Component: packages | Version: Trunk
Resolution: | Keywords: country code
-----------------------+----------------------------------
Comment (by anonymous):
It is not illegal to release a firmware which allows changing of the
country settings. It is impossible to FCC certify a device, which allows
modification of country settings.
OpenWRT is firmware that is used globally, whether the regulatory domain
is put into the firmware from the computer or whether the regulatory
domain is changable from the CLI makes very little difference if you're
allowed to change the firmware anyway.
For European, Japanese users, the world setting is too restrictive and
there it is legal to have the ability to change the regulatory domain.
Only two countries disallow this: United States and Israel. But that
hardly covers custom firmwares where it can be changed in the code anyway.
