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! :)

greetings from the freecalypso project

[mail]

Please excuse touch of plug and slight bit of off-topic-ness, but just to let 
anyone here with interest in free (as in source code available) baseband 
firmware, that the freecalypso project is making strides.

Progressing on from the stable leo2moko release for the freerunner made some 
time ago, we are hopefully not too far away from offering a firmware compiled 
entirely from source code (remaining binary blobs removed) by GCC.

We are particularly excited with recent progress targeting the Motorola C139, 
very much a work in progress, but calls and SMS work and our firmware runs the 
GUI!

Make a glance at

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.
