<div><br>we could always attempt to reverse engineer. As I understand it, if one of us wrote a wrapper daemon, that monitored all input and output from the daemon, as well as the HW registers it reads, then a bunch of us walk around collecting data and post our findings, and a different person were to take that data and write a daemon that is logically equivalent, we're not breaking any laws.

<div>Maybe we could do this with fewer steps, but I'm not an expert on RE law, but I'm about 95% certain that what I described will be legal, ethical, and probably lead to a better GPS system through evolution.<br><br clear="all">
