see my other email I wrote to explain it a little bit more. Yes, you can
write an UI and keep it closed source. This is on purpose.

However the D-Bus API is designed in a way that your UI is simple to
begin with since we moved all the logic into the daemon. This is the big
difference to the FSO GSM part. oFono does the heavy and complex work
and all that is 100% GPL. Exactly how it should be.

Regards

Marcel
