Change subject: Added PCIeSDR support
......................................................................


Patch Set 1: Code-Review-2

As further discussion on the openbsc at lists.osmocom.org mailing list has revealed, this PCIeSDR backend in osmo-trx would link to a binary-only/proprietary library (libsdr.so).  As osmo-trx is AGPLv3, there is a strong copyleft and the result would be a license violation (at least once the AGPLv3 conditions kick in due to remote interaction with the BTS or distribution of the resulting binary).

We therefore have to reject merging this driver.  The only two options for thi sto move ahead would be 

a) to write a permissive-licensed progrma (e.g. LGPL or MIT) which speaks the IPC protocol of osmo-trx-ipc, or 

b) to come up with an AGPLv3-compatible licensed, open source alternative to libsdr.so of Amarisoft.
