Samsung releases Captivate source code
The Galaxy S series represents a big turnaround for Samsung. After some unfortunate mistakes and less than stellar receptions of previous Androids, Samsung has found their footing and are pushing hard. Not only are the Galaxy S phones a collective powerhouse on the Android scene, Samsung in releasing source code for the devices in order to ensure they are embraced and built upon by the development community.
After opening up the source for the international version of Galaxy S, the AT&T flavor of the phone – Captivate – has also been set free. Get ready for custom ROMs that allow side loading on your Captivate, not to mention Captivate-based ROMs for other devices.

Is this the same as the code released for the EU Galaxy S? ie all of the code except for all the encrypted hardware drivers.Or does anyone know if this is the complete codebase, which will hopefully mean we'll start getting custom ROM's as well as ROM's built only on samsung releases?
