[de] Think! Paranoid
Following (only on german available) story from the german online magazine Telepolis was sent to a mailinglist I read.
Paranoia als erste Bürgerpflicht.
Reading highly recommended. I will post a summary here in a bit.

Atheros driver copyright violation
The openbsd atheros (ath(4)) driver made it into the linux kernel. This is good news as apparently the linux people finally see again, that its good to have free drivers around. However, as undeadly reports, they also “changed” the license to GPLv2, while they were at it. (commit message). Oh wait, right, they can’t. Its Sam Leffler’s and Reyk’s Floeter’s code. While Sam originally released the code dual-licensed (BSD, GPLv2) the parts from Reyk (free HAL among them) are ISC-licensed. Judging from the questions on undeadly, quite few people seem to think, that BSD license does allow re-branding of the license. na, only the author can do that ;)
Anyways, unlike our (OpenBSD) own little mishap (see Slashdot covering te bc43xx incident) I’m sure, this was no accident.
Update:
KernelTrap as some coverage as well.
Soekris net5501 finally starts shipping
Finally we started to ship the new Soekris modell, net5501-70, with the small configuration modell, net5501-60 being on the horizon (not yet available). The new modell is quite a change from the 4801 line, more ram, four ethernet ports (yet still missing gigabit ethernet), way bigger cpu and crypto hardware.
Soon we will have rackmount cases for the new modell as well, currently only the standard case is available for ordering. Since Soekris still has issues with the SATA port and the current version of the Bios, there is no SATA Kit available for ordering as well.

Read the source, luke.
Right after CCC Summercamp 2007, we got a new member for our small family. Since then, I promised to post pictures, so here they come. His name is Luke, 14 weeks old.
