Is code (bugfixes perhaps) from Linux's sym53c8xx_2 driver still imported into FreeBSD? If so, this will be more difficult in the future: Linux' sym53c8xx driver version 2.1.18k has switched from dual BSD/GPL license to GPL-only by Matthew Wilcox, the maintainer of the Linux driver, Matthew Wilcox writes: | 2.1.18k: | - Relicence from dual BSD/GPL to pure GPL | - Add my copyright to various files | - Remove unnecessary MDELAY calls after printfs | - Rename remaining MDELAY() to mdelay(), delete MDELAY and sym_mdelay | macros | - Restructure PCI initialisation to not disable chips that are part | of Mylex RAID cards. | - Make SYM_OPT_NVRAM_PRE_READ non-optional. and adds an update patch.
