Trendnet appears to be in compliance with its GPL obligations (at first glance.) It should be possible for anyone to develop a patch for the camera.

That assumes that 1) the device doesn't require signed blobs, which would prevent you from putting your own code on it (easily), and 2) that their own components are open source, thus patchable without wrapping the service or patching the binaries.

Which is nice but we shouldn't need to patch appliances to be able to use their basic functions in at least somewhat secure manner.

And programs should never have bugs, and car accidents should never happen.

Sometimes sh*t happens. It's all about how you deal with it.
