What is not clear for me is that can a software be FSF/OSI "free" but
illegal to use?
In principle, one can take osmocombb through your local approvals
process, and get it approved for use in your country.
It may also be legal to use in certain circumstances, for example one of
the US bands for ISM - sort of
open-access - is the same as one of the EU cellphone bands. Many
cellphones will use this band happily
in the USA.
And if you can get the approval of the local government, it can be
entirely fine.
Pretty much the same with encryption - PGP is not legal to use everywhere.
That doesn't make it not free software.
