Everyone working this space should include the following in their headers:

  * A declaration that no content copyrighted by the hardware vendor is in the codebase

  * The code cannot be classified as a DMCA circumvention device as it does not provide
    access to copyrighted works

  * An assertion that the RE activities are protected under US fair use doctrine for the
    purposes of hardware interoperability (even if not a US citizen)

  * Any potential trade secrets were discovered independently through the RE process

This will deflate their legal team's attempts to exploit common ignorance when the code is admitted as evidence.
