  • Following the tradition we have had with ath5k, ath9k, CRDA,
    wireless-regdb I'd like to license this code under the permissive ISC
    license for the code sharing purposes with other OSes, it'd sure be nice
    to help the landscape in this area. Although I am %82.89 owner of the
    regulatory code I have asked every contributor to the regulatory code
    and have receieved positive Acked-bys from everyone except two deceased
    entities:

    o Frans Pop RIP 2010 [0]
    - Frans Pop
    - Frans Pop
    o Nokia RIP February, 11, 2011 [1], [2]
    - ext-yuri.ershov@nokia.com
    - kalle.valo@nokia.com

    Frans Pop's contribution was a simple patch 55f98938, titled,
    "wireless: remove trailing space in messages" which just add a \n
    to some printk lines. I'm going to treat these additions as
    uncopyrightable.

    As for the contributions made by employees on behalf of Nokia
    my contact point was Petri Karhula but
    after one month he noted he had not been able to get traction from the
    legal department on this request, as such it I proceeded by replacing
    their contributions in previous patches.

    The end goal is to help a clean rewrite that starts in userspace
    that is shared under ISC license which currently is taking place with
    the regulatory simulator [3].

  • This patch provides infrastructure for machine translation of the
    regulatory rules database used by CRDA into a C data structure.
    It includes code for searching that database as an alternative
    to dynamic regulatory rules updates via CRDA. Most people should
    use CRDA instead of this infrastructure, but it provides a better
    alternative than the WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY infrastructure (which
    can now be removed).
