I wonder if D-Star would die if someone came up with a completely open version of digital radio. I see all this interest in SDR and D-Star's licensing would make it inconvenient to make a software based radio. Will this be the ultimate downfall? Who here wants to buy a packet TNC when your soundcard can basically do the same thing? Just a thought.

<br>I have 2 problems with that however, the first one is as others have pointed out, we don't need proprietary codecs being transmitted over the air that we aren't free to duplicate or implement without a license.
