Open source stacks are already or basically on the verge of being obsolete in most of the world's telco networks if you want to actually use them. They are incredibly cool and a huge undertaking but no one is saying they are practical for actual usage, and that's ignoring the clear illegality of broadcasting with such firmware.

Osmocom and others like FreeCalypso only work on very old devices with TI Calypso chipsets.

But in this context, I think the supported devices don't matter: the idea is to interface with one-or-more telcos directly at a higher level of the 3GPP stack?
