Thanks for the clarification, and apologies for spreading the premature "word out on the street" that the change was pretty much decided already. I appreciate the more-than-usually difficult decision process with the chip, and Ian Stirling's reverse-engineering work so far. (While my particular family would most likely continue to enjoy a reverse-engineered driver on the GTA01 for quite a while, it does undoubtedly lessen the motivation to do so quite a lot if the work will not be useful on GTA02...) Access to more raw GPS data, such as with the Hammerhead, would certainly be a bonus if indeed said reverse-engineering would succeed (and I have no doubt it would, given some time and effort); on the other hand, FIC likely couldn't ship a fully free solution by default anyway, at least in/through the US (maybe elsewhere as well depending on contractual obligations), so it would remain a sort of blemish on the otherwise free OpenMoko. Anyway, keep up the good work (I'll take Harald's word for it ;), Ken, with the gllin build, and the OM team with the hard calls. I would encourage Ian to continue working on the Hammerhead RE, but again, no one can really blame one for losing motivation at least until the situation clears up. Especially what with pretty much volunteer work and all (I presume).
