[Discuss-gnuradio] Proposed revision of EU radio directive

[Alex Burr]

List members in the EU may find this of interest:

The EC is proposing a new revision of the R&TTE directive, which governs radio 
devices. In particular, 

> The proposal would also introduce some specific requirements, such as:
>    *    ensuring that software can only be used with radio equipment after 
>the compliance of that 
>        particular combination of software and the radio equipment has been 
>        demonstrated;

On the other hand, it also says:

> Verification by radio equipment of the compliance of its combination with 
> software
> should not be abused in order to prevent its use with software provided by 
> independent
> parties.
