Kyle, sorry for the delay in response on this-- yes, we are evaluating 
the BSD-like license for firmware; however, we are distributing software 
under the license below, so we will start with the existing license and 
make a later switch if feasible.

Regardless, we need to spin a v3 of the patch so please hold-off to 
apply until then.

Thanks!
Eric
