There is one key problem: it contains the (so-called) "advertising clause"
which BSD later removed. This is clause 2 in that licence. This would bind
everyone who uses the driver in a product. So while we are happy to
distribute it on our web site, we aren't happy to include it in the main
source distribution itself.
Although I haven't approached Brian Swetland about this to see if he would
be willing to waive this clause.
