 Dont know how this code
 was leaked, but in the source files it is clearly stated
 that the work is proprietary and all rights are reserved.
 
 This prevents FreeBSD
 developers (or any open source developer - say Linux kernel
 guys) from porting the code into any open source project.
 
 Just compare the license
 phrase in Broadcom source files with the one found in
 FreeBSD source files. You will see the difference (do not
 even attempt to compare it with GPL, you will get confused
 :/ )

 no, we
 don't have a licence to port it open source and I
 don't have a
 licence to generate
 binaries for other people.
