Yes, I was very delighted too, of course, and yes, he is interested in
getting one of our boards.  Back in 2012 he posted on the OsmocomBB
list that he was considering the possibility of making his own custom
Calypso board for OsmocomBB purposes, but that venture never happened
for all the usual reasons - hence his positive response to our similar
board project 4 y later.

The technical advantages of our FCDEV3B over Mot C1xx phones mostly
matter only for the more demanding FreeCalypso sw and are don't-cares
for OsmocomBB, but naturally there is no reason why OsmocomBB won't
work on our board - it should work just fine.

I assume your reference to the "enemy" is referring to my annoyed knee-
jerk reaction a few days ago to someone trying to use our ML as a hand-
holding support forum for pure OsmocomBB issues which have nothing
whatsoever to do with Calypso or Motorola etc hardware or with our
FreeCalypso work.

Given HW's step in our direction, I certainly won't casually refer to
OsmocomBB as "the enemy" any more, but people should still use common
sense in selecting which ML they post their questions to.  We don't
expect the users of our software to be posting questions highly specific
to our sw to the OsmocomBB ML, and I similarly ask that OsmocomBB users
who have absolutely no interest in FreeCalypso sw keep their OsmocomBB
questions and issues off our ML.

Yes, his work on things other than OsmocomBB (particularly the cellular
network / infrastructure side of Osmocom) has been very significant and
valuable indeed.
