[hackerspaces] Medtronic ventilator license concerns

[Tarek Omar]

Hi,

This is Tarek from Cairo Hackerspace, Egypt.

I am assuming that many already know about the medtronic "open" ventilator
<https://www.medtronic.com/us-en/e/open-files.html>. I have some concerns
regarding the license that comes with it. It sounds to me like they are
saying we will help you reverse engineer the "a ventilator" but we won't
sue you today.
I don't know legal stuff but this document sounds deceptive me. I am hoping
that someone here might have a more experienced opinion.

The license:

Thanks,
Tarek
