Ralph,
Well if you want it I'll happily supply you the source of the program I use to sign the images but what I won't supply you are the keys so I'm not sure exactly what you would gain from it. I've already read messages here that have identified the standard algorithms I'm using and there's open source for them all over the internet - it's no secret (but my keys are!)
Cliff

Hi Cliff,
From: Alexander [mailto:hri-news@yandex.ru] As things stand now with PBL V5.1? Do I have a chance to use the device?
Err, no. (trust me on this ;-)
Oh, but aren't you forgetting our previous off-list conversation? I pointed out GPL ver. 2 says
The source code for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
Leaving aside for the moment the fact that Amstrad never released matching sources to the binaries, even to those paying GBP25 for a CD, the bit in the GPL about scripts used to install means what you use to upload firmware over the EXT serial port in the lab and factory. And if that signs the firmware before uploading, it includes that too.
In reply, your offer was to do the upload for anyone that sends you their phone and firmware. Personally, I don't think that complies and I suspect the FSF and http://gpl-violations.org/faq/sourcecode-faq.html would agree.
Cheers,
Ralph.
