Cisco isn't going to provide legal advice or legal fact. That's what our
own lawyers are for. It's easier to use something else than to try to
legally challenge cisco.
If they have a policy for it, it means it's likely a common problem and
they want a uniform response to it from their company and distributors.
Just like we have an AUP that we expect our users to be to comply with.
I haven't bought any cisco routers for a long time because of this, new
or used.
