So, does this also mean they dropped the stupid part about "if you
develop something good, create a market for it, and we decide to
enter that market, you lose your product and market share" clause?

If so, then I can work on getting corporate support for the Linux

If not, then it's still bad.

having to support somebody hacking their hardware (against their wishes)

Finally, some common sense appears..
