Currently, under proposed paragraph 41.12(1)(a), if you read the entirety of the bill, the assumption is that if you are not a manufacturer of a product or device and you're someone else—for example, a researcher or someone in the process of gathering information towards the development of a product, but you're not yet manufacturing it—you would need to own a copy of the computer program or have a licence to use it. It's not always the case that such a person would have clear ownership of the computer program or a clear licence to use it.
The proposed amendment is that a person who is in ownership of the device with the embedded computer program would have an implied licence to use it. In other words, if you have the device, you're free to make it interoperable with another, regardless of whether there is an explicit licence to own or use the computer program that it runs, if you want to put it that way.
