It's not free, it's open source. It's one thing having a modified 
baseband, and it's another having a modified baseband to which you don't 
own the intellectual 'property'. And as much as I hate the whole concept 
of intellectual 'property', I hate more people getting busted for breach 
of copyright.

Last time ?SpaceFalcon? was on this list I suggested he got permission 
to use the source code from the copyright holders. I'm not sure if he 
listened.

It is probably, theoretically possible to have a (perhaps somewhat 
Tivoised) free/open baseband with regulatory approval, but not if it's 
illegal from day 1.
