Legal¶

License¶

The Librem 5 and Liberty phones are shipped with a system image that includes software from a variety of sources. The following links provide summaries for the packages provided with each shipment of the phone:

  • Package Information for Librem 5 (Evergreen Shipment)

  • Package Information for Librem 5 (Chestnut Shipment)

  • Package Information for Librem 5 (Birch Shipment)

Certification¶

CALEA¶

Neither the Librem 5 nor the Liberty phone are required to comply with CALEA requirements.

CALEA applies to US-based telecommunications providers, not to Purism. If the user of a Librem phone uses a carrier in the US with a traditional “phone number”, that carrier must comply with CALEA for phone calls, as the phone call is sent over the carrier’s connection. Pure Matrix-to-Matrix calls are outside of CALEA requirements (Matrix nor Purism are telecommunications service providers). If the call touches the PSTN, it becomes the carrier’s responsibility to adhere to CALEA. Matrix is an encrypted VoIP/messaging protocol and not a telecommunications provider.

CE¶

  1. Declaration of conformity (pg. 18): (PDF; source)

  2. Notified body EU-type examination certificate

  3. SAR test report

CEC, DOE¶

FCC¶

  2. SDoC Test Report 1

  3. SAR Test Report 1

1(1,2)

The Liberty Phone has the same mechanical and electrical design as the Librem 5; these tests apply to both.

TAA¶

  1. The Librem 5 is not TAA-compliant as it is manufactured in PRC.

  2. The Liberty Phone is not TAA-compliant as it features “Made in USA Electronics” using global materials and is not entirely “Made in USA.”

Origin¶

  1. Manufacturing and Sourcing

  2. Liberty Phone table of origin
