..as well as any other contributor that isn't qlogic...

to be honest I suspect there will be nothing left for that though. It
also voids the goal of this license change as far as I can see..
(and also I think that is legally iffy as well; one could argue that
half the driver is a derived work of the other half (as well as probably
a derived work of linux) and as such it needs to be GPL as well)
