I don't see this being any different as it relates specifically to the software, not the hardware.
The above comment that "All software should be Open Source" is blatantly ridiculous.

I'm just curious. Is software from auto manufacturers routinely pirated? I can throw a copy of Windows in multiple computers, but I cannot see a lot of logic in taking Fords software for a Focus and pirating it. Many of the software products have licenses due to competition, but I doubt Ford has a lot of competition for the software in their F150.
I could be wrong, but I have never seen it for sale anywhere.
