Doesn't apply to us.
While for WiFi firmware we're actively pursuing good free chipset, with GSM
it's not possible. See the #qi-hardware discussion.
The GSM certification is done by GCF -
http://www.globalcertificationforum.org/
It doesn't fall under the SDR (Software Definied Radio) and even if it would,
you still couldn't be able to use such device on public network without the
certification. See:
http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/LegalAspects#Usingmodifiedphonesoncarriernetworks
And there's another thing: all this certification stuff assumes that we were
already able to create our own working GSM modem. As much as we would like to
be, we're not.
But if lots of thousands of people donates significant amounts of money and
Golden Delicious will be able to hire thousands of engineers to work on it,
then it might fly. With just a few people as it has now, well, good luck :P
