@Qualcomm @arduino posted a response instead of talking to anyone who does anything in open-source, and said they couldn't respond to the journalists contacting them which was a lie, but whatever (they will do an interview about the Q!) Any way, as expected, it did not answer our questions lnkd.in/ePr7jkDE and they avoid the big ones. They say you can email but it goes to a zendesk autoreply. try! privacy@arduino.cc Here's why... Qualcomm specifically @nakulduggal can we do a live video interview? We'll send the questions in advance... You keep repeating “we’re open-source” as a blanket reassurance, but the problems people raised aren’t about the parts of Arduino that were already open. They’re about the new sections that expand corporate control, restrict user rights, and give Qualcomm deeper access to user data. Here are the unresolved points: The irrevocable, perpetual, transferable license over all user content. You say users “retain ownership,” but the license you claim over everything published is broad enough to monetize, republish, sublicense, or feed into any Qualcomm system forever. Why is this clause perpetual and irrevocable if you don’t intend to use it that way? The restriction on reverse-engineering cloud services. You frame this as “only SaaS,” but cloud is now fundamental to many Arduino workflows. Why is reverse-engineering prohibited at all for a company built on openly hackable systems? The patent-infringement shield clause. No open-source company puts language in their ToS banning users from identifying potential patent issues. Why was this added, and who requested it? Five-year username retention after deletion or inactivity. You say this was done “per community request,” but most open communities allow instant anonymization. Where is the record of this request, and why is five years the default? Qualcomm data integration. You say the acquisition “doesn’t modify how user data is handled,” yet the Privacy Policy explicitly states data is shared across the Qualcomm Group globally. What data flows to Qualcomm, and why wasn’t this disclosed at acquisition time? AI monitoring and usage tracking. Your AI policy allows broad behavioral monitoring, compute tracking, and compliance logging. What data from these AI systems is retained, who has access, and why is this collection opt-out only by not using the features? If the goal is clarity and compliance, great. Then provide clarity. Right now, the new terms read like Qualcomm drafted them and Arduino added a nostalgia paragraph on top to get pt to shut up. Happy to keep the conversation going, but these are direct questions that need direct answers.

Arduino
Arduino@arduino·
We’ve seen the questions about our updated Terms of Service. Let’s set the record straight: Arduino’s 20-year commitment to open source is absolute and unchanged. Your designs are yours, open-source licenses (e.g. Arduino IDE and libraries) remain open, schematics remain available. We’ve prepared a detailed update.

Investing in data privacy compliance costs less than recovering from a breach.

Privacy isn’t about running from tech. It’s about making tech answer to you, not spy on you.

@tarah I agree with you that punishing people for falling for phishing does very little good.

Uh, I was not aware that there is a terminal version of #Wireshark called termshark. Nice. Much easier to troubleshoot small stuff compared to tcpdump. You can even use your mouse!

Student quote of the day, said to another student who was figuring out how to get started: "you've already pre-heated the oven, don't be afraid to start cooking". Best words of #encouragement I've heard in a while.
