Everyone is free to work on whatever they want, but...
I wish the amount of time and brain power spent on this project was instead used to work on something more friendly to the Linux community.

If someone wants to do a bunch of reverse engineering, maybe they could try to get full mainline support for older Qualcomm mobile phone/tablet SoCs and minimize/get rid of BLOBs? All the fun of reverse engineering and we know the processors already run Linux...
