The IMEI was the target. I should have included the explanatory notes which have more of a 'plain english' summary of the law and its intent, sometimes used by courts when there's some disagreement about scope or interpretation of the law. The usual caution about legalese being a separate language that looks close enough to everyday language but can have a different meaning also applies. It may be that Pine64 can give a blanket permission to change the IMEI, but I'd want to ask a lawyer.
