afaik, one of the reasons for the dual license is that *BSDs (our ancestors 
from a ath5k point of view) should be able to benefit from improvements we 
make. this applies mostly to atheros chipset related things, and is irrelevant 
for linux-only implementation specifics.

also we can mix BSD and GPL in one file - see debug.c
