I'm the author of the free hardware driver layer for wireless Atheros

I'm still trying to get an idea about the facts and the latest state
of the incidence that violated the copyright of my code, because I
just returned from vacation.

Could you please give me some feedback about the latest state? Please
reply in private, I'm not subscribed to any of the Linux lists and I'm
rather interested in facts than in the usual trolling.

- Has this issue been fixed?

It has never been applied to any repository.
-> No issue and no copyright violation.

- Is there any repository available with the "ath5k" code using a
modified/"extended" license?

No.

Well that is not accurate. Please give us a few we are working on
verifying some information for you.

I don't know how to find the relevant bits in the various Linux git
repositories. Sorry, I don't get the structure of it. Are there any
other sources online except this diff on the linux kernel mailing
list?

- Are there any plans to release the "ath5k" code using a
modified/"extended" license?

No.

Same here. Apologies for this taking so long. It'll all be sorted out soon.

I'm still waiting for an answer. Your process is taking too long.
