Is R14 the 14th major release and B02 a minor release? Is there some other meaning in their numbering? (Sorry, my Google-fu is failing miserably on this topic)
14 is the major release number
B is the minor release 'number'. By convention, 'A' is not considered ready for production, whereas 'B' and later are.
02 is the 'patch level', i.e. an even more minor release number
This scheme, or at least the part up to the 'B', was used all over the place in Ericsson while I was there (a decade ago). I just pulled the battery off my phone to see if it was still used and it doesn't seem to be. One of my previous mobile phones had R1F on the sticker behind the battery...
