AFAICS, files in `sys/dev/e1000/' and `sys/dev/ixgbe/' are copyrighted
by Intel Corporation, not "Jack Vogel <jfvogel at gmail.com>" :-)
Moreover, the SVN seem to use the Linux driver, not the BSD one, which
in any case seem to share the same core, beside a different license.
But still, I'd admit that "affinity to open source" definitively
sounds merely be "GPL compliance".
