As far as I can see the 3055 is not old, it's a current product. |

I was obviously under the misunderstanding that both were wrong. If your providing a patch to 'extend' functionality (your own work, not enabling someone else work) to a device not sure where the legal issue comes from (sold or given). If your providing FW that's been patched which includes the original FW that's quite different as you are giving/selling someone else work. |

It's not open source software, modifying it could be illegal. To add some context Keysight Daniel bogdanoff once said they don't care if you hack your scope but they do care if you try and sell hacked scopes. |

Writing your own firmware and selling it is fully legal but not trivial to pull off. |
