"I, Michael Buesch, am one of the maintainers of the GPL'd Linux
wireless LAN driver for the Broadcom chip (bcm43xx). The Copyright holders of bcm43xx (which includes me) want to talk to you, OpenBSD bcw developers, about possible GPL license and therefore copyright violations in your bcw driver. We believe that you might have directly copied code out of bcm43xx (licensed under GPL v2), without our explicit permission, into bcw (licensed under BSD license)."

I'm not a lawyer, but I obviously understand the GPL better than you. (I got 8 out of 9 on that quiz, incidentally).
Would it suprise you to learn that I got the same score the first time? Then logically, I must understand it well as you do, and both of our understandings are not perfect. As such, I shall agree to disagree since I have sufficiently validated my argument.
