Concerns of Europeans: US Terminates Software Updates for Weapons Sold to Europe
On July 6, the New York Times reported that European officials are worried that due to Trump's attitude towards NATO obligations, the US may no longer provide software updates for military equipment purchased by Europe from American companies.
This may include:
1. Ceasing software maintenance and support: patches and error fixes, security updates, functional updates.
2. Ceasing upgrade terms: closing upgrade paths, compatibility guarantees, test support, etc.
3. Ceasing interoperability terms: no longer guaranteeing cooperation with other systems.
4. Ceasing data ownership and access rights: whether the buyer has the right to access the source code for local modifications or maintenance.
