Doing the best thing you can do, that is actually feasible, would be to 
send a nicely worded letter to TI explaining how much you love their 
company, and how you would really like to see their code under the GPL 
or similar.

The reason why I don't think anyone else should do the same, is because 
they aren't leading the project. And a letter from someone who is not, 
to Texas Instruments, is much more likely to fall on deaf ears.

It may take a small dent in your pride. But the reason why people are 
backing OsmocomBB and not your project, is pretty much because of the 
copyright issues, and there is great, great potential for this to be solved.

I would even right the letter for you, if you would sign/send it?
