Thanks Harald and Daniel for your suggestions.
We will follow the steps as mentioned by you. I will send a separate mail with SSH-key
details.

Hi Saurabh,
thanks for reaching out about this.

We would like to provide the information that since
Dec-2015 we have
been working on adding the EGPRS support in OsmoPCU. We have provided
the support for Basic EGPRS feature, details of which explained below.
We would like to make the code available in Public domain
Sorry for being 'precise' here: OsmoPCU is licensed under GNU GPL v2-or-later.
This is a copyleft-style licenses that require any modifications to be released under the
same license. That is contrary to 'public domain' (which is a specific legal
construct in the anglo-american legal tradition whereby an author gives up all his rights
and anyone can do whatever he wants). While we could merge code under 'public
domain' into OsmoPCU, you cannot make modifications to the GPL-licensed OsmoPCU and
then put the result into public domain, sorry.
I suppose you just wanted to release it publicly and might have mixed up the terms?
In either case, please send your changes as incremental per-feature commits to this list,
preferrably using git-send-email on your local git repository.
In addition, it would also be great if you could push your git repository to a public
location. If you send your SSH public key, we can provide you a repository with write
access on
git.osmocom.org.
We have taken interim rebase from the master during
Jan-2016.
As Jacob has been working on EDGE support since October 2015 (see the osmocom-commitlog
mailing list), I fear there might be quite some overlap to your changes. It would have
been great if you had reached out before working in parallel on the same features.
So one the next step (after posting the current patches) would be to do right now would be
to re-base your changes on top of current osmo-pcu.git/master.
Thanks,
Harald
