Using free dumbphone code (freecalypso-sw) in a piece of GPL software.

I am very interested in the free dumbphone concept but cannot work out
the licensing. I had a look at freecalypso-sw and was wondering whether
I could use the TPU driver (#12) Rita legally in a GPL piece of software?
Here is the header:
/*
* tpudrv12.c (TPU driver for RF type 12) is a required part of the L1
* code for TI GSM chipset solutions consisting of Calypso or other
* classic (non-LoCosto) DBB, one of the classic ABB chips such as Iota
* or Syren, and Rita RF transceiver; the number 12 refers to the latter.
*
* We, the FreeCalypso team, have not been able to find an original
* source for this C module: the LoCosto source has tpudrv61.c instead,
* supporting LoCosto RF instead of Rita, whereas the TSM30 source
* only supports non-TI RF transceivers. Our only available reference
* for what this tpudrv12.c module is supposed to contain is the
* tpudrv12.obj COFF object from the Leonardo semi-src deliverable.
*
* The present reconstruction has been made by copying tpudrv61.c and
* tweaking it to match the disassembly of the reference binary object
* named above.
