SFLC has released a code analysis of the infamous ath5k driver in Linux. SFLC has also - in the aftermath of the OpenBSD-Team vs. Linux-Team 'License Flame War' - released a paper on what 'copyrightable' means, as well as one on proper usage of non-GPL'ed code in GPL'ed projects. All as part of guidance for developers wishing to use permissive licensed code in GPL'ed projects.
Groklaw naturally also has a take on this.

Noone LOCKED YOUR f--kING CODE IN YOUR GPL LICENSE DAMMIT, because noone can take the copyright from you. Your code is yours forever, gpl'ed are the changes and creative work. It's not like someone can steal your code, can they? Which brings me to the question if you want noone to steal and lock your code, why did you released it under the bsd license in the first place?
