I have sent you a long email more than a week ago about why I think all of that matters for the users and didn't get a response. Perhaps you should consider reading it. It may be that you don't care about all those legal aspects, but most other people do. Hence, your effort is worthless for all those people. Now if you want to be breaking the law in your corner, that's fine, but I really think we should try to push OsmocomBB forward as much as possible for the rest of us! And that's not even to mention how your project could reflect badly on OsmocomBB development… -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution running on several devices, a free software mobile operating system putting the emphasis on freedom and privacy/security.
