Licensing
To help other FOSS Operating Systems, when possible, we license our device drivers source code under a permissive license. We picked the ISC License. We have picked this permissive license due to historical reasons, mainly that of picking a license for code OpenBSD could use as well for ath5k changes we were making upon inclusion to the Linux kernel. We follow this tradition to further assist not only OpenBSD but also other FOSS Operating Systems. You should note there are a few exceptions to this, when in doubt consult the header of the file for the respective license of the file.
