My beef isn't so much with the NDA itself, but with their unwillingness to break it all these many years after the company has gone defunct and all engineers have been let go. I have lost count of how many NDAs I have broken, but it is probably somewhere around 20. It would be *so* easy for one of those guys to leak the ware completely anonymously without ever being identified... Hence their refusal to do so is what makes them criminals in my eyes, and they shall always remain so until and unless a leak occurs, anonymous or otherwise. Just to be clear, I shall continue with my FreeCalypso project based on HispaPhreak's release whether or not we ever get a leak of the Closedmoko bits. After all, the latter were mostly object code as we've all been told (let me guess guys, your TI bits have files like l1c.lk, l1d.lk, gmm.lk etc, right?), whereas HispaPhreak's version is 100% full source. It is unfortunate that the full source version targets the wrong hw platform, and it will take some work to back-port it to Leonardo/GTA0x, but the result (a full source fw version for the GTA02) will certainly be worth it. But if someone does leak the "semi-source" for the "moko" version, it would probably help a lot with guiding the back-porting effort, particularly when the time comes to recreate the moko-specific logic of the AP and BP signaling each other to wake up.
