I have some concern about the narrower patent license in this version.
The new patent license specifically excludes patents that are not owned
by QCA (whereas the old license also included those 'controlled' by
Atheros) and any that are obtained after the date of submission. This
seems to allow revoking permission to distribute at a later date, if
there are any other patent applications in the pipeline.
If QCA wants the firmware to be redistributed freely (with the legal
notices intact, only for use with their hardware) then I don't see what
the point is of restricting the patent license in this way.
