FreeCalypso original work
=========================

The present FreeCalypso firmware is a derived work based on TI's TCS211 and
TCS3.2 firmwares.  However, even though it is based on these two starting points
from TI, our FreeCalypso fw is a software product in its own right, and is NOT
merely a "hacked" copy of some TI firmware.  The particular way in which we have
combined and integrated pieces from TCS211 and from TCS3.2 to produce our
TCS2/TCS3 hybrid, our meticulous source reconstruction of TCS211 L1 that
originally came in binary object form, our completely new and original firmware
configuration and build system, all of our new code that supports new board-
level hardware targets that use TI chips but aren't TI development boards, and
all other significant new developments made in FreeCalypso constitute our own
original work.

All original work in FreeCalypso that is not directly traceable to some
historical TI code component has been written by Mother Mychaela Nadezhda
Falconia, and I refuse to claim copyright on this software work.  I hereby
immediately place this work in the public domain; it may be used, copied,
distorted or destroyed in any manner whatsoever without further attribution
or notice to the creator.

Code pieces from TI
===================

In the case of those code components which originate from TI, we did not get
them *from* TI per se, instead we have found them freely on the Internet.  These
Internet finds were not accompanied by any kind of license information, hence
the licensing status of these historical code fragments is currently uncertain.
We are trying to get some clarification from TI, but currently having a very
difficult time finding anyone who even knows what we are talking about - the
very existence of this stuff appears to have been erased from history.
