I think we're entirely over looking that Broadcom's lack of even
providing binary drivers, thus keeping their "proprietary" info secret,
would still allow them to avert the wrath of the FCC and still allow
opensource support.  The fact that we still have to see even these
binary drivers suggests that the FCC is not at the heart of their
decision to support open/free software.  In fact, my communications with
broadcom do not even allude to the FCC restriction being an issue.
