"Bosch, the German engineering firm, is said to have explained in
a memo to VW that use of the software to manipulate results would
be against the law.

A 2007 letter warned against using the software during regular
operation, according to an internal VW investigation seen by
German weekly Bild am Sonntag.

Bosch is understood to have delivered the software to Volkswagen
on the basis that it was test purposes and not for normal driving
mode."

But you'd need to see the actual memo *and* understand the subtleties of
the German language know whether it was a serious warning or a "nudge,
nudge - wink, wink"!

Bet you wouldn't be able to work it out even with the
actual memo and that sort of fluency with German.

It's clearly an absolutely classic protect Bosch's arse memo.
