 ====== Meshtastic ======
+===== Licence =====
+Project is licenced GPLv3, but requires a CLA, which asks for an exclusive licence. It then seems to grant you a licence back though, but wat? I asked in their discord about it, and got an unfriendly feeling response. They didn't seem keen to discus it further. My impression is they plan to pull a commercial privatisation on the project and profit from free labour, otherwise why the CLA?

+===== Maps =====

+  * [[https://meshmap.net/|Another map]]
+===== Building =====
+Use ''git pull --recurse-submodules'' or otherwise ensure the protobufs repo is kept in sync with the main firmware code, or you can get errors for undefined protobuf stuff.
+===== uC Task Table =====
+What uC resources meshtastics uses for what.
+Arduino's "Serial1" may or may not correspond to uC's UART1. Don't know.
+On ESP32:
+Serial1: GPS
+On RPi Pico:
+Serial1 (UART1?): GPS
+SerialModule: Serial2 on all boards but T-Echo.
+Console / usual debug output / USB serial: Serial
