Re: Deeper story on FCC versus open source SDR

forgive my ignorance if this has already been discussed, but how much
overlap of communication is actually occurring here (among the
GNUradio / software defined radio / cognitive radio scene) with the
Open Spectrum movement vis-a-vis Larry Lessig, David P. Reed, et. al.?

Some more takes on the FCC position.

My favorite is the second. The line “The Software Defined Radio (SDR)

and asked it to get a clue.” amuses me.

John,

Does any written statement from the FCC give credence to the
“regulatory
excuse” for keeping the Atheros HAL closed? Atheros cites the
FCC’s
SDR NPRM, which doesn’t really apply.

There’s quite a bit of “cross-pollination” between the groups.
