I hope they are able to create a free RIL for whatever modem they choose (in time).

That's actually not a big deal, as there are already multiple to choose from. FSO, oFono, ModemManager, and even more if you count ones from Openmoko times. Most of them should work with a module like PLS8 with minimal or no modifications.
