Hi Malcolm
Let's assume for a second that Meridian do not actually have a formal wording for their Firmware.........

ALL Devices with Embedded Code are Automatically protected under the European Computer Program Directive 2009/24/EC.

Consider the following extracts

Quote
For the purpose of this Directive, the term �computer
program� shall include programs in any form, including
those which are incorporated into hardware.

This term also includes preparatory design work leading to the
development of a computer program provided that the
nature of the preparatory work is such that a computer
program can result from it at a later stage......


.......The unauthorised reproduction, translation, adaptation or
transformation of the form of the code in which a copy
of a computer program has been made available
constitutes an infringement of the exclusive rights of
the author.
