> According to them, there are unfortunately no baseband modems on the market that can legally have their firmware distributed as free software.

What is the legal restriction here? (It sounds like you're referring to some restriction beyond simple copyright protection on some of their components - are there FCC regulations regarding the firmware?)

EDIT: Ah, of course, the FCC needs to certify devices before they can actually be used.
