The only reason why commercial companies (most notably ST-Ericsson) with
proprietary GSM stacks use this is to make sure they don't have to release any

There is absolutely no technical reason why you cannot do a GSM L1 inside
the regular Linux kernel.  You just have to do it in a GPL-compatible way :)
