Hello,
Thank you for the UBNT direct response. Your email was a huge
contradiction, it says it's not motivated by lawyers then goes on to say
it's a "Regulatory requirement" (lawyers). You say it's not to prevent
putting specific software (Cambium or otherwise) on your device" then in
the next paragraph says "to prevent software which is not ours running
on our devices"
You go on to say "it improves airMAX system security" which means we are
losing improvements to the firmware in exchange for the agreement that
we never run Cambium's patch to certain towers where GPS is essential
but unavailable by UBNT thus forcing us to change out radios that will
sync, a promise broken repeatedly by UBNT as we were buying newer radios
(titaniums and first generation Prisims, with ones that do sync today
without having to change all CPE at an enormous cost.
Ubiquiti is responsible for the migration away from their product with
the years of misleading information about sync so now trying to make it
impossible to use the firmware of our choice is a corporate decision,
not a technically based one. It's ironic that UBNT was founded by being
the radio chip provider managed by Mikrotik software, now they seem to
have come full circle.

Re: 6.0.6 isn't an upgrade, it's a legal brick

@WABroadband
<https://community.ubnt.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/27397> Let
me be very clear - this has nothing to do with preventing you from
putting specific software (Cambium or otherwise) on your device, nor is
it driven by lawyers in any way. Radios are also not bricked, nor are
they sabotaged at all. No one is forced to upgrade and there is no
modification of the user agreement here.
It is a regulatory requirement to prevent software which is not ours
running on our devices, and also improves airMAX system security. These
same protections are implemented on other products and by other vendors.
