[liberationtech] Opensource SDK for SIM hacking

[Jon Gosier]

Thanks Jacob!  We weren't aware of any of these and if they offer the
solutions we need we'll just build on them (of course contributing as
well). So much appreciated!

As for where we sit in the ecosystem, where we don't have to recreate the
wheel in low-level programming, we won't. We ultimately care mostly about
the GUI and ease-of-use, to enable projects related to humanitarian and
journalist needs in developing countries.
