FreeCalypso isn't free firmware, it's leaked proprietary firmware.  The
user does not have the right to even run the firmware, at least within
nation states whose laws respect copyright.  This includes the United
States and hence Long Beach, California, where you claim to be based in
your Indiegogo campaign.

What you claim to be free firmware is not.
