GPL Code Found In OpenBSD Wireless Driver
NormalVisual writes "The mailing lists were buzzing recently when Michael Buesch, one of the maintainers for the GPL'd bc43xx Broadcom wireless chip driver project, called the OpenBSD folks to task for apparently including code without permission from his project in the OpenBSD bcw project, which aims to provide functionality with Broadcom wireless chips under that OS. It seems that the problem has been resolved for now with the BSD driver author totally giving up on the project and Theo De Raadt taking the position that Buesch's posts on the subject were 'inhuman.'" More commentary from the BSD community is over at undeadly.org.
>They _are_. Actually, these seem to be the _only_ facts that are relevant to the discussion in the first place.

>It's interresting that people seem to think _I_ have to apologize, as the OpenBSD developers
You don't owe an apology to the OpenBSD developers you owe an apology to *ONE* OpenBSD developer Marcus Glocker. You called him a thief in public smeared his name without doing him the courtesy of contacting him about the problem. I hope if you ever make a mistake in public the aggrieved party is a lot more understanding.
