No, my goal is to make sure that one community can't gang up on one
person in a public blame fest, and totally ruin that future value that
person might put into the community.

The driver is gone.  Since it is gone, there is no more infringement.

What there is though, is a lot of resentment.

And the Linux community should think very carefully about where that
resentment is coming from.

This was handled very poorly.

David, if you found a piece of your code in some other tree, under a
different license, would your first point of engatement be a public or
private mail?


Please, tell us.
