I also got the schematics for my TV set and my video recorder. But that's for service and repair. It's not free hardware. As far as I know the USRP designs are copyrighted and not under a free hardware license. Correct?http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2011-01/msg00533.html
>Well the reason why it "gets around" is that it's done poorly competitively against other devices in the top tier customer accounts, thus they are force to scratch around and find any possible business. Sadly for us the nature of this segment of the Semiconductor market is such that the most successful manufacturers know who their major target customers are and are focused solely on winning their business, whilst maintaining almost paranoid design security in the process in what they perceive as a very competitive space. We have to be realistic that we, as a market segment are both tiny, and built around a core principal of extensive public technical information disclosure, and that closes the door to access some technologies.
