in a Point of payment terminal it does not apply are sure?

I am sure. Those are not consumer products. They are made for
businesses only.

as example with the v3 you force me to give you my private key that I use

To deny the key to the user is not acceptable. It makes the software
non-free, and gives the developer power over the user that nobody
should have.
