OK cool.

Since regulatory compliance and open source by principle form a
gray-zone combination [2], testing for sure is essential to keep it more
white than black ;)

I actually do not think its grey now at all, we in fact IMHO have the
best regulatory framework out there, while still ensuring freedoms.

Sorry, of course it is, I was not specific enough.

I was just wondering if principle 3 generally would prevent us from adding a Kconfig option to enable DFS for ath9k as long as it is not certified (which is the only way to ensure to have a 'known compliant usage') plus depending on mac80211 and hostapd.
