The 1000 person-years that would be required for such a task should instead be spent doing something more productive, like searching for a cancer cure. Anyone who spends his or her time reimplementing perfectly good existing code merely because of license- worshipping concerns is guilty of contributing to human suffering, and thus a disgrace in my eyes. If you have voluntarily chosen to obey a law that deems the abandonware in question to be proprietary rather than public domain, it is YOUR problem and not ours.

Congratulations folks. I haven't had the time or energy to participate in the project at all, but I'm really glad you're making such good strides. Keep it up! :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
greetings from the freecalypso project
Please excuse touch of plug and slight bit of off-topic-ness, but just to let anyone here with interest in free (as in source code available) baseband firmware, that the freecalypso project is making strides. Progressing on from the stable leo2moko release for the freerunner made some time ago, we are hopefully not too far away from offering a firmware compiled entirely from source code (remaining binary blobs removed) by GCC. We are particularly excited with recent progress targeting the Motorola C139, very much a work in progress, but calls and SMS work and our firmware runs the GUI! Make a glance at https://www.freecalypso.org and https://www.freecalypso.org/howtos/ Best wishes -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
