4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	36 All TI-owned code that has been incorporated into FreeCalypso originates from
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	37 the following four sources in this order of importance, from most to least
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	38 significant:
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	39

4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	49 d) Bits of Layer1 code from the TSM30 source published by HispaPhreak in 2004,
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	50 dated 2003-11-06 or earlier.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	51
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	52 All of this code is presumed to be copyrighted by Texas Instruments (TI), with
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	53 a copyright year of 2009 or earlier.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	54
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	55 Because TI no longer provides any support for their discontinued GSM baseband
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	56 chips or for their associated firmware, the exact licensing terms for their
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	57 code are unclear. We (FreeCalypso) have repeatedly reached out to TI over the
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	58 years, explaining in our letters to TI exactly what we are doing with their old
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	59 code and asking for licensing clarification, but never received any response.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	60
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	61 In the absence of any communication from TI telling us otherwise, we operate on
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	62 the assumption that the license terms applicable to the code we are using from
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	63 TI are the same as customary in the semiconductor device industry as a whole.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	64 It is customary in the industry for makers of many complex integrated circuit
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	65 (IC) chips to also produce specialized firmware that is required in order to
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	66 use these chips effectively; if any given semiconductor device company X is
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	67 primarily in the business of making and selling IC chips and provides firmware
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	68 solely as an accessory to those chips rather than as a product in its own right,
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	69 then the following license terms are generally customary for all such firmware
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	70 articles throughout the industry:
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	71
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	72 * Because the firmware is a required accessory for making use of the chips and
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	73 because the chips rather than the firmware are the revenue-generating product,
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	74 IC chip makers almost universally license their firmware under terms that
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	75 allow unlimited use of the firmware FOR AS LONG AS that firmware is used
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	76 together with chips bought from the company, and not otherwise.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	77
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	78 * It is generally considered severe misuse and likely copyright infringement or
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	79 IP theft to take some company's firmware and use it WITHOUT buying the
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	80 original chips for which that firmware was made.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	81
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	82 Back to FreeCalypso and TI, we (FreeCalypso) use TI's code ONLY by way of
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	83 running it on genuine TI-made Calypso chips which we buy on various IC surplus
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	84 markets. Even though these chips were originally made by TI decades ago and TI
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	85 has likely lost all institutional memory of them, the fact remains that at some
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	86 point in the distant past these chips were legitimately sold by and bought from
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	87 TI, with all subsequent transfers of ownership falling under the first-sale
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	88 doctrine. When these chips were first sold by TI decades ago, they were
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	89 accompanied by a license for the associated firmware to be used together with
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	90 the chips, and we make the argument that because the firmware is a required
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	91 accessory for using the chips and has been so from the beginning, as the
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	92 ownership of our TI-made chips passed down the chain, the license to the
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	93 associated firmware rides along with the physical chips, following the same
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	94 first-sale doctrine.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	95
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	96 We (FreeCalypso) absolutely do not condone or encourage anyone to use TI's
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	97 firmware without TI-made chips, and we never engage in any such misuse
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	98 ourselves. Anyone who attempts to port TI's firmware to some non-TI chipset
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	99 platform or otherwise use it without TI-made chips will very likely be
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	100 infringing on TI's copyright, as TI had developed the firmware solely for use
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	101 together with their chips, and use without TI-made chips would constitute theft
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	102 of their work. We shall not provide any assistance whatsoever to anyone
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	103 seeking to port the present firmware to a non-TI chipset or to an SDR setup or
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	104 any other arrangement that is not firmly cemented around TI-made Calypso chips,
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	105 as doing so would almost certainly go against TI's reasonable rights.
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	106
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	107 Because we use TI's code only by way of running it on genuine TI-made Calypso
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	108 chips, in the absence of TI telling us otherwise, we have every good reason to
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	109 believe that our manner of using TI's firmware code is fully consistent with
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	110 TI's original intent in the way it was developed and licensed, and is therefore
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	111 fully lawful and not infringing in any way.

4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	210 There is one specific form of usage which is expressly prohibited without

4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	216 as part of a purely commercial for-profit venture or enterprise must either buy
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	217 FreeCalypso hardware from Falconia Partners LLC and limit their commercial use
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	218 of FreeCalypso-based derivative works to just that Falconia-made hardware, or

4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	220 nature of your commercial usage) from copyright holder Mychaela N. Falconia,
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	221 allowing commercial use on non-Falconia-made hardware. Doing otherwise
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	222 constitutes severe infringement on Mother Mychaela's copyright.

4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	230 tinkerers and end users as defined in the previous section. It is my natural

4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	232 to use it for free and who does not, and in my capacity as the rightful
4e178a0e90f6 LICENSE added Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	233 copyright holder I deem it so that if you use my work as part of any commercial
