abb.c & init.c: sync with Magnetite for Luna additions These Luna target-specific additions are conditionalized on CONFIG_TARGET_LUNA, a C preprocessor symbol that will never be defined in Selenite, hence this change has exactly zero impact on FC Selenite. However, they are being pulled in as a sync in order to keep the diff between Magnetite and Selenite to a minimum; keeping this diff to a minimum increases our opportunities for possible evolution of future FC firmwares.

d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	55 Because TI no longer provides any support for their discontinued GSM baseband
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	56 chips or for their associated firmware, the exact licensing terms for their
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	57 code are unclear. We (FreeCalypso) have repeatedly reached out to TI over the
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	58 years, explaining in our letters to TI exactly what we are doing with their old
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	59 code and asking for licensing clarification, but never received any response.
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	60
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	61 In the absence of any communication from TI telling us otherwise, we operate on
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	62 the assumption that the license terms applicable to the code we are using from
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	63 TI are the same as customary in the semiconductor device industry as a whole.
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	64 It is customary in the industry for makers of many complex integrated circuit
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	65 (IC) chips to also produce specialized firmware that is required in order to
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	66 use these chips effectively; if any given semiconductor device company X is
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	67 primarily in the business of making and selling IC chips and provides firmware
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	68 solely as an accessory to those chips rather than as a product in its own right,
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	69 then the following license terms are generally customary for all such firmware
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	70 articles throughout the industry:
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	71
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	72 * Because the firmware is a required accessory for making use of the chips and
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	73 because the chips rather than the firmware are the revenue-generating product,
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	74 IC chip makers almost universally license their firmware under terms that
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	75 allow unlimited use of the firmware FOR AS LONG AS that firmware is used
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	76 together with chips bought from the company, and not otherwise.
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	77
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	78 * It is generally considered severe misuse and likely copyright infringement or
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	79 IP theft to take some company's firmware and use it WITHOUT buying the
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	80 original chips for which that firmware was made.
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	81
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	82 Back to FreeCalypso and TI, we (FreeCalypso) use TI's code ONLY by way of
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	83 running it on genuine TI-made Calypso chips which we buy on various IC surplus
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	84 markets. Even though these chips were originally made by TI decades ago and TI
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	85 has likely lost all institutional memory of them, the fact remains that at some
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	86 point in the distant past these chips were legitimately sold by and bought from
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	87 TI, with all subsequent transfers of ownership falling under the first-sale
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	88 doctrine. When these chips were first sold by TI decades ago, they were
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	89 accompanied by a license for the associated firmware to be used together with
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	90 the chips, and we make the argument that because the firmware is a required
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	91 accessory for using the chips and has been so from the beginning, as the
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	92 ownership of our TI-made chips passed down the chain, the license to the
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	93 associated firmware rides along with the physical chips, following the same
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	94 first-sale doctrine.
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	95
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	96 We (FreeCalypso) absolutely do not condone or encourage anyone to use TI's
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	97 firmware without TI-made chips, and we never engage in any such misuse
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	98 ourselves. Anyone who attempts to port TI's firmware to some non-TI chipset
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	99 platform or otherwise use it without TI-made chips will very likely be
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	100 infringing on TI's copyright, as TI had developed the firmware solely for use
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	101 together with their chips, and use without TI-made chips would constitute theft
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	102 of their work. We shall not provide any assistance whatsoever to anyone
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	103 seeking to port the present firmware to a non-TI chipset or to an SDR setup or
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	104 any other arrangement that is not firmly cemented around TI-made Calypso chips,
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	105 as doing so would almost certainly go against TI's reasonable rights.

d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	107 Because we use TI's code only by way of running it on genuine TI-made Calypso
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	108 chips, in the absence of TI telling us otherwise, we have every good reason to
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	109 believe that our manner of using TI's firmware code is fully consistent with
d78986760e92 LICENSE: new terms Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: 175 diff changeset	110 TI's original intent in the way it was developed and licensed, and is therefore
