anySIM iPhone unlock to be released under GPL this Friday
,----[ Quote ]
| According to further comments by the development team, the aim of the GPL
| release wasn't just to create a better unlocking tool more quickly than
| before. The current anySIM code has allegedly been ripped off by a number of
| other groups, so the team is hoping that a move to the GPL will force other
| groups to acknowledge where their work is from. And if they don't, well, the
| iPhone Dev Team can now take more action and enforce the GPL.
