"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.

Reyek's code is not under the 3-clause BSD license. It is under the ISC-license. One of the optionally dual licensed files are Jiri Slabys copyright solely. The other one is under a special 3-clause BSD license* incompatible with the GPL.
None of the code is under a 4-clause BSD license.
*It is incompatible because it contains the famous ad-clause. Reyek deleted the wrong clause according to Theo.
