Congratulations folks. I haven't had the time or energy to 
participate in the project at all, but I'm really glad you're making 
such good strides.

Keep it up! :)

You are reminding me of this talk and cartoon by Nina Paley.

Are you planning to rewrite the proprietary source code from TI/etc so
that freecalypso could be released under a Free Software license?

Absolutely not.  The 1000 person-years that would be required for such
a task should instead be spent doing something more productive, like
searching for a cancer cure.  Anyone who spends his or her time
reimplementing perfectly good existing code merely because of license-
worshipping concerns is guilty of contributing to human suffering, and
thus a disgrace in my eyes.

If you have voluntarily chosen to obey a law that deems the abandonware
in question to be proprietary rather than public domain, it is YOUR
problem and not ours.

Her talk is wonderful, I agree with her 100%, she should be an
inspiration to everyone here.  Thanks for posting the links.
