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.

Let's see...
I just looked at the recent source code and it STILL has that paragraph:
* Alternatively, this software may be distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License ("GPL") version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation.
With the following date under it: 2004/01/13
If you didn't like the license-text, then why the hell did you contribute to that??? You must have known that somebody COULD make that code GPL-only.
