Unfortunately, Apple only certifies devices which connect to, and only to, iDevices. Since we targeted the SmartScope to be compatible with a large number of popular platforms, it was impossible to obtain iOS certification. Hence, before our app can connect to the SmartScope, the software protection that Apple has put on top of its USB chips needs to be removed. This is done using a so-called Jailbreak.

Even though the tonality of the word Jailbreak doesn't suggest so, it is a legal operation. Basically, you bought your iDevice and you're free to decide what you do with it.
