I'm sure they'd love to, but it's been ruled that jailbreaking is legal (to run your own or free software).

In the US, at least, the legality of jailbreaking currently rests on a temporary DMCA exception that needs to be renewed every three years. Prospects for the renewal look good at the moment:

But that is no reason to be complacent about the issue (or to think that this legality is written in anything but sand).
