As Holger pointed out, they contained a GPLv2+ disclaimer rather than
the AGPLv3+ which we use for OpenBSC. This is not an incompaibility,
but was done unintentionally. The code was always mean to be under
AGPLv3+.
Nevertheless, anyone using those two files in a version up to this
commit have the right to use it under GPLv2+ as well. This is not
applicable for any versions after this commit.
If an ESME has the dcs_transparent config flag, then the TP-DCS
of MO-SMS is transparently passed to SMPP and not converted to SMPP
specific data_coding values.
This is needed in cases where ESMEs actually care about the exact
TP-DCS, as the conversion from TP-DCS to SMPP data_coding is not
bijective.
There are multiple ways how the TS 03.38 TP-DCS can indicate 8bit or
7bit messages. SMPP has it's own data coding specification, which is
different from TS 03.38.
However, some SMPP ESMEs want to be able to have fine-grained control
over the TP-DCS indicated in the TPDU header. If such values like 0xF6
are used in SMPP, we now transparently pass them on to the GSM side.
An ESME can now be configured in the VTY to enable osmocom-extensions,
which will add vendor-specific SMPP TLVs for RxLev/RxQual/ARFCN/IMEI and
transmit power to the SMPP DELIVER-SM message type.
As bsc_gsmnet is NULL at the time we call smpp_openbsc_init(),
we later run into segfaults with subscribers that don't have a
subscr->net set.
However, we cannot delay smpp_openbsc_init() until after
bsc_bootstrap_network(), as we then fail to parse the SMPP specific
VTY/config file options...
