Hi Ben,
That is my main point. when i first heard about the lawsuit i didn't think
much of it because competitors sometimes sue each other and they are both big
companies and big companies usually build risks like that into their business
models. When i dug further into the lawsuit and saw that Ubiquiti was going
after a WISP and a distributor for conspiracy charges that's when all kinds of
alarm bells went off because that is a whole other ball of wax.
If you look at the WISPA founding docs (I included some of them with my
original post) you will see that WISPA was partly formed to bring unity and
harmony to our industry. At the time of formation we had WISPs fighting
neighboring WISPs and generally giving our industry a bad name and the optics
were awful. WISPA really helped bring the community together and we learned
how to share spectrum and we all jumped in a helped each other solve problems
and design solutions. That is the WISPA I joined and love. Ubiquiti filing
this lawsuit alleging conspiracy to hack goes directly against all that we have
worked for over the years. And if a vendor member is going to treat a WISP
member this way then what's next? Are WISPs going to start fighting each other
again and file idiotic lawsuits where no one wins.
We have A LOT of external battles to fight with competition, government,
regulation, the FCC etc. We don't need to be fighting against each other and
that is a core principal of WISPA. That's why I believe a "wait and see"
approach is misguided. WISPA was created to help bring harmony and unity to
all it's members. And if us WISP members are expected to treat each other
nicely then the vendors better treat us the nicely too.

I think that’s my biggest issue here also. Trying to be as unbiased in the
matter as possible, the biggest issue I have is that they brought a Dist. and
WISP into the lawsuit. I think if this was filed solely against Cambium,
everyone would have gone, ‘oh, that’s interesting, wonder what’s going to
happen.’ The second they included a Dist. and WISP, I have to think every
decent minded WISP and Dist. out there is going, ‘Wait, they sued for that? I
don’t think I want to associate to these people anymore because I don’t want to
be next.’ I could be wrong, but I feel for the WISP especially in this case. I
think to speak more to the call to WISPA to take action, my view is this. If
I’m a WISP, and I join WISPA to better the community, a key component is I’m
going to share my experience and expertise on certain things. It’s my
understanding, that’s ALL this WISP did. They tried the product out, reported
back to the company that sold it to them on how it performed, and then it was
published. So for another company to come along and say, ‘Wait, you can’t use
that product and you certainly can’t promote the use of that product’, seems to
me is the EXACT opposite of what WISPA is about. It’s a VERY slippery slope
they’ve opened up here. I’m sure the WISP involved isn’t going to publically
participate in any more studies or open BETA programs. So you have to ask,
what if people highly trust this WISP, what if a few other highly trusted
WISP’s get the same treatment and shut down their open sharing of experience.
Is our industry growing now? Is it benefiting from this? Just my opinion, but
THAT’S to me, the biggest issue here.

If ubiquiti want to go after cambium for copyright infringement then by all
means go for it. But don’t drag Blip into conspiracy charges.
It would seem WISPA could be a co-conspirator too

That’s where I’m curious about the copyright and hacking claims. The
loaders and many of the tools are open source and/or are supplied by the
chipset manufacturer.

Yeah... it's not like you can just go download Openwrt, modify it as much
as you want, without doing anything that even vaguely looks like hacking, and
flash it on the things...

Clearly Cambium downloaded the source code for U-Boot and "hacked"
UBNT's super secret hardware. Because nobody else could possibly boot a
generic Atheros without hacking and collusion.
