npub14euckequu3krttkqcf7ru465getd52aw9wzrp95mqnchq7g6e2esrjvx4x (npub14eu…vx4x) The license on source code or a development model doesn't seem to have anything to do with GPS tags.
What's known as tracking tags currently don't actually use GPS - rather they use bluetooth and connect to tracking devices which then report to the proprietary overlords what the location of the tag is.
You can buy a USB GPS receiver that reports the location over usb and you can use that with only free software, but the tag itself is proprietary.
I don't know of any free hardware designs for GPS (maybe I could do with one without geofencing or speed restrictions so I can have GPS while I'm on fast trains or planes and certainly not for missiles), but maybe a SDR should be able to receive a GPS signal and then the problem is decoding it.
