Hopefully may or may not be sufficient for them to bet the farm on.

Knowingly breaching a contract you've already invested many dollars and hours building and understanding, against the advice of your legal council, seems risky.

Exactly.

It's really easy to make speculative quasi-legal decisions when it's not your company.

Additionally - while the legacy bemoth Intel is getting onboard with open source schematics (and figuring out its strategy to open source the VHDL for its 12th gen core to compete against RISC-V - perhaps now that Gelsinger who is more technical than the previous CEO - there is some hope!) -- the question is whether we'd rather see a product like Framework make inroads despite the roadblocks and build up marketshare to further the case toward right to repair.
