I was reading on the mailing list that the AR9002 chipset supposedly
has
GPL firmware somewhere. Does anybody know where? And is it free
software
compliant or are they including the bad stuff within the GPL
firmware'd.

only for USB based AR9002 devices firmware required

I don't see license or source there. Is there some place I can get that?

 the source for the firmware is internally maintained and you can only
get the updated binary there.
sorry I am not aware of the license thing.

If anybody else is aware of where the source code is and if it is/is not
in fact under a free software license it would be much appreciated.

the source code is maintained internally in Atheros by Sujith
