Daniel:
We have a reference implementation of RDS (the digital signal carried
along some FM broadcast stations). That RDS code may not be checked in
because it does not have the required permissions. However, it might be
interesting to take this code and do a clean room version after it has
been digested and then to get that checked in. This work was done on a
similar basis to what you have discussed here.
If you are going to be doing this work in support of the GnuRadio
project, PLEASE, go ahead and get the necessary FSF forms now and learn
how to put the needed boilerplate in all pieces of your source code.
Your university, department, and/or advising professor may have
serious heartburn with this assignment of rights to FSF and then all of
your effort on our behalf might go for naught. It has only taken me TWO
YEARS to talk my employer and our sponsors into supporting this effort
on a widespread basis. The facts are, we could not afford all of the
talent that has gone into GnuRadio if we wanted to. However, we can
afford to give something back that does not in any way threaten our
needs and uses and we become a multiplier rather than strictly a consumer.
Anyone can get these forms and if you want to write code that we can
include, please do.

Time for a new motto, what should I choose?
