Attached patch amends the ath5k license as per review from SFLC with
the following changes:

  * Makes sure that Reyk's copyright and license notice appears
    correctly in each file that was derived from his work.

  * Makes sure that Jiri's changes were released under a permissive,
    modified-BSD license, as he indicated that was his preference.

  * Makes sure that Nick's changes were released under
    GPLv2-or-later, as he indicated that was his preference.

  * Makes sure that all files clearly have the any GPL notices on
    top, but include the proper BSD-like notices below when required.

   * Adds Devicescape attribution to ath5k_base.c

  * Sets the MODULE_LICENSE to GPL, because with Nick's changes
    included under only GPL, the module can only be available under GPL.

  * Adds Nick to the list of MODULE_AUTHORs because his changes
    are substantial.

Thanks to the SFLC for their help with this driver from legal hell

For the record, I told Jiri and various other folks that any code I licensed as dual-BSD/GPL could be made GPL only so long as the attribution remained. That was the exact reason I dual-licensed.
