I would imagine that there will never be a fully open source gps, as this would allow anyone to bypass the "am I a missle?" test.

- tbr 11y agoNdec claimed that there is interest from QC to have as much as possible implemented as open source. We will see how far this goes.
- TD-Linux 11y agoThere are already many open source implementations of GPS using SDR. In addition, most consumer GPSes just have firmware that does the SDR bit and output NMEA strings. There's literally no reason for the driver receiving NMEA strings to be proprietary.
