OPI FAQ

General questions

  1. Why do I have to get a manufacturer's permission to use OPI on their device? A: TL;DR legal reasons. Usually devices are approved by regulatory bodies (eg FDA, CE) in a certain state (hardware and software). The OPI allows you to change this state, and so manufacturers must be careful that they are not allowing you to use the OPI under the impression that it is aproved by the regulatory bodies.
