I absolutely have every right in the world to do whatever I want with any device I own (baring things like tweaking WiFi to violate FCC rules). Why would you even say that?

Of course you can violate your EULA in your own home and get away with it...but you are still violating your EULA and that has absolutely nothing to do with linux or Linus or the GPLV2 anyway

They don't have to help you, and can actively prevent you from attempting to modify the device.
