I did allude to this in my first sentence, but since I am a citizen of the USA, I wrote from the perspective of what I know. Administrations in other countries may care or may not and likely will handle things differently.

Like most everyone, I am cheering for fully free drivers. I just don't want someone finding themselves in court defending themselves out of ignorance for writing a driver that is considered to be in violation of federal and perhaps international radio regulations. Forewarned is forearmed.
