@jwz “my brother, the courts will stop this illegal act”

@aral sure I understand all that. What I am referencing is the 12 person team that gave the world a specification that lead to the PC revolution in the 70s. The PC specification was public domain and defined the standard that would dominate computing for decades.

@aral the IBM PC may provide a model for how to do it with VC and without greed.

Create an open specification for a cell phone that uses commodity components and can be assembled by hand. V1 might be the size of a book but it would be a start.

Might be impossible given some of the complexity in cell phones, so maybe a WiFi only tablet is a better way to begin.
