what conversations are going on?

Tivo checked years ago and were told that what they were going to do was Ok. I don't know thatanyone is talking too Tivo about anything. they are just screaming about how evil Tivo is at every public opportunity.

But since the software is good, and moving to another software would be costly in various dimentions, the vendor has an incentive to stick with the software they have.

but if regulations or other contracts require tamper-resistant hardware they have no choices other then to fork the existing GPLv2 versions or switch to alternate options for anything that switches to GPLv3
