+Notice of Adoption
+==================
+
+I, Mychaela Nadezhda Falconia, hereby appoint myself as the Adoptive Mother of
+the GSM mobile station firmware code that has been abandoned, disowned and
+discarded in the trash by Texas Instruments (TI).  I argue that by effectively
+disowning this code and discarding it in the trash, TI have forfeited any and
+all rights they may have had to this code, both moral and economic, and I ask
+the users and distributors of my code to ignore and disregard any and all TI
+copyright notices interspersed in various individual source files.
+
+Declaration of Free Software Status
+===================================
+
+I, Mychaela Nadezhda Falconia, the Adoptive Mother of the software contained in
+this source repository, develop, maintain and distribute this work with the
+intention that it be treated as Free Software.  Specifically:
+
+* By virtue of there being no one to stop you from doing so, you may use this
+  code as you wish, for any purpose whatsoever;
+
+* By virtue of the complete source code being published, you may study how this
+  code works, and change it so it does whatever you desire;
+
+* By virtue of there being no one to stop you from doing so, you may
+  redistribute copies of this code however you like;
+
+* Also by virtue of there being no one to stop you from doing so, you may
+  distribute modified versions to others as well.
+
+Because the present developer, maintainer and distributor of this code is me
+and not TI, I argue that my granting of all of the above freedoms to the user
+community should supercede the lack of such grant from TI, and that my work has
+the right to be treated as Free Software.
