The reverse engineering of the ecutek lock/protocol is no different to what ecutek did with the subaru/Denso one. There is no license, that's merely a marketing term imho, I certainly never seen nor agreed to one when I had my map.
I agree this shouldn't be used to steal maps, however, it is handy if you have one of the ecu's that can't be unlocked.
I now have a non-ecutek ecu and have played about with LC, it works well, it'll build 10 or so psi stationary. Dual maps are available but only a few Roms are supported.
I'd be willing to help anyone out that wanted to get started using OS to log or map, just give me a shout.
