Re: CPS partial restores of Flash memory
There are at least two versions of Baofeng 1801 radios. One difference is flash memory size (1 Mb vs 2 Mb). Is that the reason for your problems? Though I can't imagine why firmware for smaller flash memory would not run with larger memory... Of course the codeplug would have to be reset when switch...

Re: Recent versions of firmware will be removed
I think Andrew has got the spirit of open source software and collaboration-- and licensing, as far as GPL goes-- in the right interpretation. It's about freedom as in free speech (freedom to distribute, build, enjoy) and not necessarily freedom as in free beer. I agree. Open source gives you freed...

Re: Recent versions of firmware will be removed
The power of true open source is that an open source project never dies. The development may freeze for a moment, but as long as there is the source code, anybody has the possibility to continue. OpenGD77 is an excellent piece of software. Sooner or later it will catch developer interest. Nothing pr...

Legalese for distributing OpenGD77 firmware
Is it really a problem to distribute OpenGD77 firmware file (the .sgl file) which contains the AMBE codec ("the blob")? The sgl file is encrypted, so it is usable only on a supported radio. You can't extract the codec from the sgl file. And if the radio contained the same version of the official fir...

Re: New ongoing "Development" version has been created
The software license requries you to supply all sources for your release. But isn't the BLOB a system library? If not, why not? At least it is used like a library, via the wrappers? And everybody who has the radio already has a copy of it in the flash memory? http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.htm...
