And now, the FCC is considering applying the broadcast flag regulation to software. The FCC adopted a regulation {prohibiting digital TV tuners unless} requiring digital TV tuners to have a mechanism to block copying and this has to be tamper-resistant, meaning it can't be implemented in free software. They haven't finished deciding whether this applies to software or not, but if they do, they will have prohibited GNU Radio, which is free software that can decode digital TV broadcasts.
