Actually, no. Certification issues make the device without it (so for instance, with replaced firmware) illegal to operate on public networks in most countries on the world. Of course you can use it on your own network - for which you need a permission to run :P

Releasing the source code is not illegal, but see above.

Also, see https://trisquel.info/en/forum/true-...eo900-openmoko
I've wrote a bit about it there.

Hopefully that answers your questions. If not, I'll be happy to talk with you, but in some different topic please - don't make mess in this one.
