I searched around a bit and couldn't seem to find any talk about an

It sounds like a worthy project to keep the prices from Garmin and the
like in check so a opensource applications can be written to use
utilize the underlying ADS-B implementation.

Thanks.

Have you heard of any FAA certified open-source hardware? Hell the GPS
is going to have to be WAAS certified you aren't going to get that done
via open source.
