"After years of encouragement from the OpenBSD community for others to use Reyk Floeter's free atheros wireless driver, it seems that the Linux world is finally listening. Unfortunately, they seem to think that they can strip the BSD license right out of it." Update: The issue has been fixed, but sadly, lkml.org is down, so I cannot give any links just yet.

I seem to remember there were 60 something commits to that developers tree in violation of the license. Maybe 5-10 would be accidental, but 60+ *different* commits?
No, that was intentional on the BSD developer's part. The only sad part is that he quit working on it when the linux bcm43xx developer offered to dual license the code.
