Actually, it's not quite. The 2200 f/w has:

/************************************************************************

* with Fabric (Public Loop), Point-point, and *
* expanded LUN addressing for FCTAPE *

(you should note, btw, that the f/w that's on the internal QLogic website for
OEMS is 2.1.26)

So, it's *sort of* GPLd....
