It "washes" when it comes to the company that MAKES the equipment
in question.  The problem here is not with FreeBSD developers, it
is with Broadcom.  We're all just speculating at their reasons,
and that is clearly a complete waste of time if people are going
to get all upset about "ethnocentrism".  Nobody on this mailing
list is trying to ram anything down anyone else's throat.

We're not guessing at "what all the people on the planet" want,
we are guessing at the motives of Broadcom.  If it happens that
Broadcom does want to keep the FCC happy, so they can sell their
products in the US, that is not the fault of anyone on this list.
