At 100,000ft the pilot is just another Amazon delivery driver. And the other pilot is another Amazon driver riding shotgun as required by law. “As required by law” is a synonym for “as bad as is still legal.”

They might object to the existence of the software and demand “its destruction.” Or sue your ass…or file a DCMA takedown with Github. Or all of the above. The best likely outcome is probably “no.” Because they have lawyers and that’s what l
