Just remember about TI's license:
"This Agreement will immediately terminate if you fail to comply with its terms. Upon termination of this Agreement, you agree to return or destroy the original package and all whole or partial copies of the Program in your possession and so certify in writing to TI."
:P

No problem! ;)
If you want to destroy your TI-Nspire permanently, just ask me... :P
And you might ask Brandon to permanently brick your TI-z80 Flash.

Why is this non-issue still being discussed?

Well at least people know that if TI ever enforces their rules that they have no chance to win, so there won't be people being scared and just deleting their emulators/ROMs or whatever from their site or computer (well, of course, when you receive a DMCA notice you have to temporarily comply, but after the EFF has fought back, you can put the files back up after 24 hours or so I think.)

@Keoni there's a EULA in the packaging which you agree to by using the calculator.

Isn't it in the instruction manuals? I know my guidebook had a warning that the calc was sold as-is, but I don't remember anything saying the software couldn't be used in any third-party emulator or device.

Makes very little sense. It's not as if whether something from TI runs correctly on a non-TI emulator is of any concern to TI.

Fine... Then again why did they make this change now? ;)
It's been more than 20 years...

Because, maybe, they started to fail to make sense recently?
Or maybe they changed their opinion on the programming community.
Or they noticed our use of non-TI emulators.

They also may have (inappropriate) complaints from people working on emulators with weird behaviours thinking it was TI's fault

(if that's the case.... ahem)

Then why wouldn't TI say that it's the emulator author's fault, instead of banning community emulation of TI's licensed materials altogether?

It could just be to prevent hordes of people from yelling at them if they run into a bug/crash/whatever in an emulator, resulting in lots of false bug reports. But at the same time, I just think that they know they can't do anything to stop us from using their OS "innapropriately", but they decided to scare people to convince them to buy the official emulator instead. :P
