FCDEV3B-repackaging article removed for legal reasons The idea expressed in that article, namely the idea that some party other than Mother Mychaela could be permitted to create a derived work based on FCDEV3B board design and have it be accepted into the FreeCalypso family, is no longer allowed by our current stance on the matters of intellectual property, particularly Falconia IP. For technical content, the new FC-modem-family and Quadband-ideas articles should fully supplant this old FCDEV3B-repackaging article.
