Re: [Bluez-devel] are bluetooth specs no longer freely available?

[Simon Siemens <Simon.Siemens@arcor.de>]

Thanks for the link, Marcel. I didn't find it. But what about the
Generic Access Profile. Many other profiles refer to it, but I can't
find it in the list. Did it become obsolete or has there been a name
change? The JSR-82 (Java Bluetooth API) refers to it as well.

Thanks, Simon
