Hi Peter,

trust me there are still bugs, but even the test system has bugs ;)
It is possible to use the BlueZ listing. Look at the Tom Tom GO300 for
an example.

Tom Tom has no copyright on the BlueZ core code. Nothing has changed
with this listing. As far as I know you can always refer to other
listings and so Tom Tom can't control it. However the only reason that
it is not listed under my name is, that the Bluetooth SIG don't allows
qualifications by individual users. Only companies can qualify products.
A stupid thing from my point of view.
The only option that I see to get this really clean is to create a
non-profit organization that takes care of such things. However I don't
really have time for this paperwork, but if someone wants to go this
way, I am in.
Regards
Marcel
