Sure, ignorance of the law is not an excuse, but contracts are not law. In fact, the law requires a "meeting of the minds" as a required element of a contract. Although, the modern bar for this is extremely low, and courts will judge this based on manifestations of assent.
That being said, Vizio has a high paid legal department and is certainly not ignorant of the fact they ship third-party licensed software. They are simply ignoring it.
Courts would say "look you're professional organization well aware of software licensing landscape and you're using it, so you have agreed"
That’s fair, but to me the “in Rust” part is the most relevant. I wanted to see how ergonomic it was to do such raw memory tweaking in the memory-safe systems programming language.
As you can see they're creating safe wrappers around the raw unsafe windows API which uphold the invariants. Microsoft should provide these as a crate.
Sounds like the "I know a guy" kind of thing that shouldn't be done if you really care about security.
