    Regarding "Linux Kernel developers," false. _I_ have posted. ath5k,
    wireless, and net driver maintainers have all sent emails. License and
    code fixes have been committed.

    As for the FSF: It has been repeatedly stated that the FSF has zip to
    do with this. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Linux != FSF.

    You are failing to observe that changes have been made in response to
    criticism.

    Given that Linux Kernel devs have responded both with code changes and
    emails, "silence" and "inaction" are provably false.

    And since the changes go ath5k->linville->me->linus or
    ath5k->linville->me->davem->linus, I am a step in the approval chain. I
    do know what I'm talking about. :)
