Hi,
In order to make my mind about this subject...
You're complaining solely of the changes in files:

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k.h

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k_hw.c

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k_hw.h

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k_regdom.c

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k_regdom.h
But not in files:

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k_base.c

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k_base.h

	* drivers/net/wireless/ath5k_reg.h
Right?
To my eyes what he did about the first files is wrong but without

malice. I think he took a small sample for the whole, which he

shouldn't.
In the case of the later 3 files, their copyright notice says:

	"at your choice" you may distribute under the terms of the BSD

	license or under the terms of the GNU GPL v2
So if they chose to distribute those 3 files under the terms of the GNU

GPL v2, it is correct to change the copyright notice of those three files

alone in order to remove a license that the distributor chose not to use

anymore.
But it is incorrect in my point of view to have done so on the former 5

files.
I hope it's those 5 files everyone is crying foul about...
