What does that mean? Only devices that have FOSS firmware are allowed to 
send in this spectrum?

Because I actually fail to see the fundamental difference to spectrum I 
use to communicate from my purchased devices from VENDOR1 and VENDOR2 that 
I run myself, and my purchased device I use to communicate that are from 
VENDOR1 and VENDOR2 where the device from VENDOR2 is run by a mobile 
provider. I mean, do we rule out wifi networks run by providers?

Now, I will admit that I have no idea how LTE-U looks like on RF, but 
what's so different about it compared to the different other things 
sending in there like Bluetooth and wifi (and wifi has many different 
encodings).
