contact a lawyer before making such statements. How do you learned about
that number. You read GPL code and this would make it derived work. Be
really careful. The licenses are in place for a reason. You wanna use
software from the community so you have to play with our rules. If you
don't want that, then you can always buy a Bluetooth stack from someone
else.
