Nor probably are you a copyright holder. Initially Broadcom wasn't
shipping source code at all, a group of Linux copyright owners, including
me, and the FSF negotiated the issue with Broadcom. In the end they
did release a very comprehensive tarballs of source code, tools etc.
which should even to a newbie permit rebuilding the code.
The only problem were the wireless drivers; the Japanese regulatory
authorites, the MIC, has some regulations that basically prohibit opening
the access to the transmitter controlls such as power and frequency.
The FCC's rules could be interpreted in similar ways and so in the end
we agreed on this being a fair compromise.
