As I understand it from previous threads, it isn't that our desires weren't
considered or that they would be hard to make available to download.  The issue
is that the corporate legal beagles said they should no longer make available
anything using graffiti 1, due to the (ongoing?) court proceedings.

So unless you downloaded copies of them previously, the only legitimate way to
get ROM images now is to transfer them from a device that you own and thus
already have a license to use.  Of course, that is a release ROM, not a debug
ROM, so still doesn't do as much for certain types of testing.

I believe the only ROM image(s) still publicly available are those using
graffiti 2.  Fortunately, for most apps, that is sufficient for gremlin testing
and debugging under POSE.

However, I do think the ROM image links should lead to a page explaining this
fact (if indeed it is a fact instead of rumor), instead of just showing an empty
list.

HTH,
Doug
